It is 1924, near Queenstown on the west coast of Tasmania. A boy holds a double-barrelled gun with a bright-eyed black cockatoo perched on the barrel. A young woman with short curly hair stands beside him in the button grass, a dead black cockatoo dangling from each hand.
When artist and poet Jacqui Malins saw this arresting image in a photograph, she was captivated by the woman's face and intrigued by the scene. What is this place? Who is this woman, and what is she doing?
GERT is a non-fiction narrative collection of poetry and images. It tells two inseparable life stories: one of a place, and the other of a woman who lived there.
