The words in this book were written on Aboriginal lands stretching from Gadigal through Dharawal to the far south coast of NSW on Yuin Country, where Gabrielle lives with her family.
It was created on Gadigal Land, Sydney.
The mesmerising cover artwork by Amalina Wallace inspired the closing poem \'Joy Philosophy\'.
The contents are divided into heart lessons and observations.
Gabrielle\'s poems are designed to be read out loud with a freedom which leads to personal resolution, revolution and joy.
Therefore, to speak poetry from the heart is a daring double act of courage. \'Courage\' means bravery, although historically it referred to our emotions, heart and feelings. \'Etymology\' is the study of the origin of words.
Gabrielle dedicates this collection to everyone brave enough to share their truth creatively through spoken word poetry.
