The one thing I would have done differently: I wouldn't have accompanied it with aboriginal art. That implicitly continues the association between the words and the people she exploited.Barb Chamberlainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000768706045663322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988313475311500328.post-74290161043375241242017-04-18T14:04:02.446-05:002017-04-18T14:04:02.446-05:00I thank you for posting this.

I understand that. Using the words of Morgan was definitely a risk, and I pondered hard before posting them. Perhaps I erred, but please hear my reasons, of which these were primary:<br /><br />(1) I wanted to use this opportunity to clear up the attribution. I'm troubled by the fact that Morgan's poem is still being widely circulated as the words of a real (and aboriginal) poet. I wanted to help correct this, especially so that a fabricated representation of aboriginal culture couldn’t continue to be promoted as true.<br /><br />(2) I wanted readers to wrestle—mindfully--with the notion of whether wise words might still be received as wise despite their source. For I do believe that, despite the fabrication, there is an amount of wisdom in Morgan's writing.<br /><br />As I said, this selection was risky. But I feel that I would do it again, and perhaps be the wiser by explaining my choice.<br /><br />Care to respond?<br /><br />Deep peace,<br />PCDPhyllis Cole-Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860589719995205974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988313475311500328.post-70080753833343181802014-06-27T22:27:25.932-05:002014-06-27T22:27:25.932-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phyllis Cole-Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860589719995205974noreply@blogger.com
