About Rosemary 

Rosemary Bird Petyarre was born in the early 1950s at Atneltye, or Boundary Bore, on Utopia Station in the Northern Territory, located 270km northeast of Alice Springs. She is the niece of the famous Aboriginal artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye, sister of Jeannie Petyarre, and half-sister of artists Greeny Purvis Petyarre and Evelyn Pultara. She is also a skin sister to other well-known artists, including Gloria Petyarre, Kathleen Petyarre, and Ada Bird Petyarre.

Rosemary Petyarre has painting in her blood. Rosemary was one of a group of Anmatyerre women at the forefront of the Aboriginal art movement at Utopia. Like many women artists there, Rosemary Petyarre originally produced batik works, eventually moving to painting after encouragement from her aunt, Emily Kame Kngwarreye.

As a bush woman, Rosemary Petyarre is familiar with her land and its abundant bush tucker species, medicinal plants, and native fauna. She and her sister Jeannie Petyarre inherited these stories, along with essential women’s stories, from her ancestors via her aunt Emily, and they form the basis of her paintings. The subject of many of Rosemary Petyarre’s paintings is a representation of leaves collected around her country and used for various medicinal purposes. In particular, she returns 3and to Bush Yam Leaves and Bush Medicine, depicting these themes with flowing representations of the leaves. Typical of the Utopia artists, Rosemary Petyarre rejoices in the use of colour.

Today, Rosemary Petyarre divides her time between Utopia and Alice Springs. She is a highly talented artist among the famous names of Aboriginal art who reside and work at Utopia Homelands. Her paintings have been acquired by collectors worldwide. Aboriginal art status: Established artist.

Magic City poetry series
Format: Paperback
This book was recommended to me to add to my poetry collection. It is a book that you can pick up and read a few poems and then put down to try to think of the meaning. It is written very well. Just takes a bit of thinking to understand.

Down Home Blues
Format: Paperback
Magic City remains, perhaps, my favorite volume out of Yusef Komunyakaa's distinguished body of work. With his characteristic blues and jazz-inflected lyricism, Komunyakaa revisits the harrowing violence and racism of the deep south as viewed through a piercingly translucent prism of personal memory. The poems making up this volume are in many respects a poetry of witness, and the eyes through which which this gritty psychic landscape is revealed to the reader penetrate various scenes of troubled family life, poverty, violence and racism with a razor-sharp clarity rife with anger, sorrow, and beauty. Ranging in age from childhood to young adulthood, the speakers, or witnesses, in these poems see through eyes that are simultaneously innocent and jaded, naive and urbane, unflinchingly tough and lyrically sensitive. These are unforgettable poems. Like good blues, they cut right down to the bone.

Unblinking portrait of a childhood in the Jim Crow South
Format: Paperback
Komunyakaa, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his Neon Vernacular, here writes about his childhood in a Louisiana town. The poems are poignant but unsentimental: the child's world has a certain kind of innocence but is saturated with violence, from the Klan to his father's abuse of his mother to the pragmatic violence of slaughtering a hog. One of the more exciting elements of this book is Komunyakaa's skill in combining realistic description with startling and even puzzlingly abstract language.
