The Word - Alice Eather - Poem - Yuya Karrabura
“I walk between these two worlds, a split life, split skin, split tongue, split kin. Everyday these two worlds collide and I’m living and breathing, this story of black and white.”
In her powerful poem Yúya Karrabúra (Fire is Burning), Indigenous poet Alice Eather paints a complex picture of two colliding worlds of which she is a product. In the middle, Alice brings the two worlds together, “to sit beside this fire, and listen”.
Alice Eather has sadly left us, but her amazing poetry and message will live on. Rest in Peace.
