Black Life: Poems

From award-winning playwright, author and activist Jack Davis comes this important and essential poetry collection. Black Life is a powerful and unflinching exploration of Aboriginal identity, resilience and resistance. Through vivid imagery and lyrical honesty, Davis gives voice to the struggles and triumphs of First Nations people, confronting themes of dispossession, cultural survival and the enduring strength of community. His poetry is both deeply personal and profoundly political, weaving together stories of pain and hope to challenge readers and celebrate the richness of Aboriginal heritage. Black Life stands as a testament to Davis’s role as a leading voice in Australian literature and a tireless advocate for justice.
