Listening to Land is a collaborative project which recognises the creative arts as a powerful contribution to environmental activism. Each poem and artwork surrenders ideas of humanness to express a deeper kinship with Nature.

Revealing shades of immense beauty and resilience amidst sorrowful tragedy in the Land. They join together to tell their story. Follow this poetic journey into a more than human world with our friends and kin: Animals, Plants, Rivers, Mountains, and Nature Spirits.

This book is directly inspired by the proposed raising of the Warragamba Dam meaning a further loss of invaluable ecological communities and Aboriginal heritage. We as a local human community choose to respond with creativity to show our strong connection to place.

This book is a fundraiser to support direct action related to this campaign.

Industry Reviews

Listening to Land offers us a moving testimony in poetry, reflection and art to the power of land in all its forms -- plants, animals, water, earth, rock and the many generations of human inhabitants going back to the time of origins. Informed by multiple layers of knowledge -- indigenous, scientific, philosophic -- the authors of this collaborative work summon us to an understanding of all that is lost when a rich, diverse valley is needlessly drowned. Protesting against the raising of the Warragamba dam wall through this poetic act of collaborative art, Listening to land gathers the collective voice of a community speaking for what they cherish: earth in all its abundance known directly at local level.
-- Peter Boyle - Poet
