Modewarre: Home Ground
Patricia Sykes Instant Download Modewarre is the indigenous Wathaurong word for musk duck. Through this icon of land and water, Patricia Sykes explores various histories – her own, her forebears, the wider histories of identity and place – in poems that are as concentrated as pearls. Three roads meeting in the one bird: modewarre (the indigenous), biziura lobata (the colonial), musk duck (the common).

Reviews
Write a review. 'Sykes is a poet who is intelligent and often vivid –“…like a grounded thing / she is learning mud / as delicious and terminal” – and Modewarre is an astute and rewarding collection. Stephen Lawrence, Wet Ink ‘It sweeps its subjects along in a flow of striking images and strong feelings, these buoyed by an intelligent sense of poetic structure and modulated by a sometimes ironic eye.’ Jennifer Strauss‘… this is a brilliant book of poetry. I was thrilled and moved by it. I was engaged by its intellectualism. It is so valuable to come across books like this, books that shake your complacency, books that compel you to pick up a pen and write something of your own.’ Jennifer Harrison |
