SCWC Management Committee member, Dr Ernie Blackmore, saw his first book, Speakin’ Out Blak, launched at the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre at the University of Wollongong last night. Speakin’ Out Blak is a discussion of Dr Blackmore’s own works as a playwright, and the urban Indigenous voice in Australia.
The book was launched by Professor Gerry Turcotte, author of the novel Flying in Silence (Brandl & Schlesinger), and poetry collections including Border Crossings (Brandl & Schlesinger), Hauntings (Five Islands Press), and Winterlude (Brandl & Schlesinger).
Thanks to Professor Kathleen Clapham, Antoinette Faddoul and everybody at Woolyungah Indigenous Centre for hosting the launch.
