Eckermann’s work has that rare ability to feel both plain-spoken and ceremonial. These are poems of listening more than declaration — attentive to weather, sound, shadow, flora, fauna, and the ways trauma and belonging reverberate through land and body. A strong one for readers of contemporary Australian poetry, First Nations writing, ecological lyric, and poets who use silence and space as part of the poem rather than decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagabala Books paperback, first published 2023.
