ABIA and Indie award winning author Maxine Beneba Clarke (author of Foreign Soil and the forthcoming memoir The Hate Race) is one of Australia's most innovative and celebrated poets.

A haunting visit to the International Museum of Slavery, in Liverpool England. A feisty young black girl pushing back against authority. The joy and despair of single parenthood. A love-hate relationship with words.
