Synopsis "The Body Country (in English)"
SHORTLISTED FOR THE PRIZE FOR POETRY, 2024 VICTORIAN PREMIER'S LITERARY AWARDS'I keep looking at the stars to see the universe, but the joke is I am the universe.' the body country is an evocative exploration of a world that too often marginalises and the power of a land that can offer connection. A meditation of wandering and wondering on Country, inviting the reader to understand the complexities and changing forms of self and love. A Wergaia and Wemba Wemba woman, Susie Anderson captures profound meaning in moments often lost in the busyness of a day, encouraging us all to stop and allow ourselves the space to notice. To notice the shape of a mouth as it says goodbye; the colour of the sky as you fall in love; the way a steering wheel is turned carelessly after many wines; the crunch of dry ground after drought; the smell of fire on the wind; the movement of ants before rain; the power a word, a dress, a piece of art can give to run towards something new. These are poems that take us across rural and urban settings; from the personal to the universal, from looking inward to mapping the land and always bringing us back to the Country that connects us all. 'Anderson pays attention to the moments that slip through the cracks and hands them straight to you in a way that can momentarily stun' Harper's Bazaar 'The Body Country is an evocative exploration of a world that too often marginalises and the power of a land that can offer connection. Susie captures profound meaning in moments often lost in the busyness of a day, encouraging us all to stop and allow ourselves the space to notice' Wimmera Mail Times 'Powerful' Who Magazine
