Poetry by Sam Cook
Fierce. Funny. Unforgiving.
Blak Rose is a bold and unflinching collection of 57 poems by First Nations Australian artist Sam Cook, whose words pulse with defiance, wit, and truth. Each poem cuts deep and blooms bright - confronting colonisation, identity, and the cost of survival with razor-sharp humour and lyrical power.
Cook writes from the heart of Blak experience - where history meets resilience, and beauty rises through the cracks. Her poetry moves between protest and tenderness, between laughter and rage, reclaiming space for stories long silenced.
Blak Rose is not here to explain or apologise. It stands unapologetically Blak, alive, and unbroken - a testament to resistance, survival, and self-love.
Because even in the ashes, something fierce still grows:
the Blak Rose.
