Author's note: This book contains selections from my last three books: Equinox, Fire in the Heart, Journeys and new poems written in the past two years covering, in all, ten years from 1984 to 1994.
-
Dedication: This book is dedicated to Brian Syron, 1934-1993, man of the Biripa Tribe, actor, director, teacher and dear friend, whose enthusiasm, wisdom and humour I valued and whose faith in me and my work I will never forget. And in admiration, also, for the wide scope of his contribution to Aboriginal and Australian drama and cultural life.
