Lest They Be Lost

From the heart of Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community nestled in the sweeping desert landscapes of the Australian Outback, comes a collection of ponderings that capture over fifty years of observations and reflections. Wendy Baarda Nangala, a teacher and long-term resident, offers us a window into her world through these verses, which weave the personal and the universal, the rhythms and hues of life in an extraordinary part of the world. With each line, Wendy invites readers to travel with her through decades of change, resilience, and connection to her community and its traditions. This collection is more than just ponderings; it is an intimate map of a soul's journey through the vast expanses of land and mind.
