Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dirt Love Salt is a collection of poems by Jocelyn Freeman that reflect on her unique and extraordinary journey. Jocelyn left Sydney, with her husband, Janawirri Forrest, an Indigenous artist and musician, to experience life in regional NSW, Australia. Though no more than two hours from two major cities, both Jocelyn and her husband were confronted by the clash of values and politics related to climate change and conflicting cultures - sometimes occurring in unexpected ways. In this environment Jocelyn worked both as a secondary school teacher and as a managing editor for two country newspapers. She also started a family and renovated a house. Dirt Love Salt reveals a poetic journey that began with a "tree change" and ended with a "sea change." It was an experience that allowed the innocence of city expectations to be explored against a politically dramatic global backdrop. The poems encompass the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York and its repercussions in regional Australia with the ensuring War on Terror. Themes related to national reconciliation, the Apology and the Intervention policy on Indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory are also reflected in her work. "These are not all easy poems, not poems to 'enjoy'. But they have power and insight. ... Poems to remember, go back to, share with friends. They deserve reading and thinking about." -Dr David Gilbey. Adjunct Senior Lecturer in English, School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Charles Sturt University. Australia. Jocelyn Freeman was born in Sydney, Australia, and grew up in Vanuatu, in the Pacific. After living in regional NSW, she returned with her family to the Central Coast, north of Sydney, where she continues her work. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JocelynFreeman
