To essay means to try, to endeavor, to attempt--and to risk failure.
At once a testament to personal freedom and a powerful argument for Indigenous self-determination, Wandering with Intent demonstrates, with candor, humor, and hope, how necessary and precious it is for each of us to choose how to live..
Her compelling evocation of desert landscapes and tender, wry observations of cross-cultural relationships describe people, places, and ways of living that are familiar to her but still strange to most non-Indigenous Australians.
Celebrated as one of the few Australian writers who both lives within and can articulate the complexities and tensions that arise in the spaces between Aboriginal and settler Australia, Mahood writes passionately and eloquently about the things that capture her senses and demand her attention--art, country, people, and writing.
In these finely observed and probing essays, award-winning artist and writer Kim Mahood invites us to accompany her on the road and into the Remote places of Australia where she is engaged in long-established collaborations of mapping, storytelling, and placemaking.
For Kim Mahood, it is both a form of writing and an approach to life.
