The Poetemics of Oodgeroo of the Tribe Noonuccal

Abstract

‘Oodgeroo…never once discribed herself as a poet. She often said, when pressed, that she was an educationalist and that her job was to educate both white and black…to wrench her verse away from her life and accepted role is to lose the message for the structure…’
