Kirli Saunders
Eclipse weaves reflections on Country with affirmation and cheek, fusing Beyonc with quantum physics. Across three parts-Terrain, The Depths, and Constellations-proud Gunai woman Kirli Saunders transports readers with land, sea, and sky, playfully honing in on the intricacies of humanity, heartbreak, and connection.
Through free verse, experimental, and concrete poems, Kirli taps into the rhythm of Ancestral wisdom, offering connection and healing from the wounds of love, grief, and our Nation's shared history. These poems celebrate the enduring strength found in kinship and Country itself, and at its heart, Eclipse is a dedication to Kirli's fierce and undying love for her community.
Accompanied by Kirli's minimalist portraits and sketches drawn from the earth, Eclipse dances rhythmically through time and space, reminding us that both joy and sorrow are part of the same path. Kirli's playful and intentional verse brings us back to the Old Ways, while offering a fresh blak queer lens through which to view the present and future.
Through this collection, Kirli invites readers to find themselves among the stars, grounded in the earth, and held in the constant embrace of Country, community, and the cosmos.
