Featured poets include South Australians from various local language groups: Dominic Guerrera (Kaurna/Ngarrindjeri), Courtney Hebberman (Ngarrindjeri/Peramangk), Natalie Harkin (Narrungga), Simone Ulalka Tur (Yankunytjatjara) and Mandy Brown (Ngarrindjeri/Peramangk).

They are joined by Queenslanders Faye Rosas Blanch (Yidinyji/Mbabaram) and Alexis West (West Birri Gubba/Wakka Wakka South Sea Islander), along with Barkindji man Steven Pappin from New South Wales.
