Dear Son
Dear Son shares letters written by Indigenous men about life, masculinity, love, culture and racism. Along with his own prose and poetry, author and editor Thomas Mayor invited 12 contributors, including Joe Williams, Stan Grant and Troy Cassar-Daley, to write a letter to their son, father or nephew, in a book that celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander manhood.
