Julia Blackburn

“The monologue of an isolated person who allows the threads of private thoughts to surface in letters and conversations, even in conversations with strangers.”
― Julia Blackburn, Daisy Bates in the Desert: A Woman's Life Among the Aborigines

“My two granddaughters are still young;
They walk with precarious confidence
And babble words that are not yet words.
I look at their faces which hold the secret
Of who they already are
And who they are becoming.”
― Julia Blackburn, Time Song: Searching for Doggerland
