ART

ART is the second collaborative poetry work from Charmaine Papertalk Green and John Kinsella. It’s a call and response piece that builds on the dialogue the two authors began on paper in False Claims of Colonial Thieves (2018). While ART is a collaborative work, each poet’s contributions are presented independently. They showcase their talents in a dynamic exchange, working to present a poetic response to artworks.The focus of their attention is a series of paintings by the late Nyoongar painter Shane Pickett. Pickett’s work provides provocation for both poets to reflect on their own lives and histories on Nyoongar country.
