Acknowledgments

This is the book I did not want to write; it is the book I thought I could not write, that my words and worlds were lost forever, and yet, here it is. There are many words in this book but there is one word as two that needs to be written, a word that once written can but hope to touch the meaning it holds—thank you. Thank you Eleanor Christie, Rebecca Wyde, Natasha Innes and Renee Jarratt for your patience and compassion. Thank you Ailie McDowall, Julie Bower and Linda Willis for your open doors and hearts. Thank you to my comrades in arms Susan Monk, Lachlan Hurse and David Szumer. Thank you to my Yanyuwa family; always already kundiyarra. Thank you running babes Claire Backhouse, Janine Roberts and Jane Fisher for making sure I did not record a DNF (did not finish) in words and the world. Thank you Keith Mackinlay, Lyn Mackinlay, John Barlow, Debbie Walsh and Sally Cross, for carrying my words and worlds when I couldn’t. Thank you Pamela Burnard, Anne Harris, Stacy Holman Jones, Fetaui Iosefo and Briony Lipton for holding me close even though you are far away. Thank y
