“Uncle Wes Marne has a unique ability to allow the reader to see through his experienced eyes. The power and wisdom of his words is now more than ever important for the future generations to understand the time and place they exist in.” – Ben Bowen, CEO Indigenous Literacy Foundation

“Uncle Wes writes with poignancy, resilience, and inspiration about our history, our ancestors and of what he has learnt on his life’s journey. His poetry is an expression of the legacy that he wants to share with us all. His warmth, connection to culture and love for community keeps the fires of Indigenous knowledge burning bright. Uncle Wes’ book of poems is for everyone, across all ages, races, and denominations. This book is the product of a wonderfully creative collaboration between the indomitable Uncle Wes, Tranby – in our 65th year of operations – and our newly re-launched BLACKBOOKS Team”. – Dr Belinda Russon, CEO Tranby Aboriginal Co-operative
