What is home? What is identity? This collection features poems that set out on the winding paths of memory and aspiration in search of how these questions might be answered. Their context is local and universal, their voices restless and insistent. These poems seek to confront and understand the complex meanings of belonging.
Modewarre is the indigenous Wathaurong word for musk duck. Through this icon of land and water, Patricia Sykes explores various histories - her own, her forebears, the wider histories of identity and place – in poems that are as concentrated as pearls. It sweeps its subjects along in a flow of striking images and strong feelings, these buoyed by an intelligent sense of poetic structure and modulated by a sometimes ironic eye.
