Featuring 28 emerging Indigenous writers and artists, Crow Feathers: an Indigenous collection of poems and images is a great launch into the publishing industry for Black Ink, the Indigenous community writing, illustrating and publishing project based in Townsville, Far Northern Queensland. The collection is not a humorous or soft read, rather it is a book that looks at the consequences of invasion and colonisation - the loss and the fear, the loathing and inequality, the displacement of Aboriginal people and the ongoing struggle for place. www.abc.net.au/message/blackarts: Date visited 08/05/2006.
