Judges' citation, 2013 NSW Premier's Literary Award for Poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAli Cobby Eckermann, a Yankunytjatjara\/Kokatha poet, is at the forefront of Australian Indigenous poetry. \u003ci\u003eInside My Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is both a political and personal collection, angry and tender, propelled by the need to remember, yet brimming with energy and vitality  qualities that distinguished her previous, prize-winning verse novel, \u003ci\u003eRuby Moonlight\u003c\/i\u003e. Tributes to country, to her elders, and to the animals and spirits that inhabit the landscape, coupled with the rhythms of mourning and celebration that pulse through the poems, make this a moving and personal collection. Grief is deeply felt and vividly portrayed in poems such as 'Inside My Mother' and 'Lament'. There is defiance and protest in 'Clapsticks' and 'I Tell You True'. In the final section there is a marked generational shift as the elders begin to pass away and the poet as grandmother comes to accept her rightful place as matriarch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAli Cobby Eckermann awarded the prestigious\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/windhamcampbell.org\/\"\u003eWindham-Campbell\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/a\u003ewriting prize.
