She reaches into the unspeakable parts of a colonial past in order to unpick the ongoing repercussions of Australia's invasion and history. Written with poetic prowess and political bite, Bellear's work is a reckoning force set against a backdrop of urban community and strength. Her boundless energy and activism shine throughout, ensuring that each poem has a striking clarity of vision. Dreaming in the Urban Areas is an incandescent work of integrity and truth that charts the enduring struggles for survival and recognition.
