This is the country of the Bunuba, Warrwa, Ungummi, Ungarinyin, Ngarnawu and Munumburra, Walmajarri, Kija and other Indigenous peoples.

ItemNo Preview AvailableVictorian women poets of WW1: capturing the reverberations of loss(The Conversation Media Group, 2019-04-24)Just as fiction’s George Smiley made sense of the world - and even made his baffling way about a world at war through knowing the works of minor German poets - our own very real Michael Sharkey (who has an equally resonant and unlikely name) has found that his passion for a certain strain of minor poets also intersects with history, war, intrigue, political resistance and troubling nationalism. ...

Item‘We’re all going to die’: Perceptions and experiences of time among creative practitioners(Australasian Association of Writing Programs, 2017-04-30)This paper surveys briefly a range of modern ideas on the creative process and some possible approaches to understanding time, from scientific to philosophical, experiential and managerial.
