Jo Patti Munisteri Intrepid Explorer

"Jo is a unique, talented and insightful writer as she is a dedicated researcher and great listener. I invited Jo to be part of the Indigenous studies and Human Rights department after getting to know her work with the Gumbaynggirr community and her writing through WOW (Women Owning Words, NSW). "

"Like the cover, what’s inside is elegant with substance. Jo Patti's poems draw the reader into a conversation which gives a sense of her perspective on life and people, and a sense of their randomness and beauty. The reader is left with plenty to think about."

"Powerful and personal poems with heart and vision pouring off each page. This is a poet who has seen the world and all the facets and intricacies of beauty and brawn, bloodshed and passion."

In CLASH-Poems from Conflict Zones, "Each poem casts an attentive light for readers to embrace compassion, either bestowed upon themselves or to others. A beautiful tribute to her talented son, Denali. A short read, both subtle and truthful."

"I highly recommend Traveler Between Worlds for those looking to expand their sense of what’s possible in life. Munisteri’s journeys are an eye-opening revelations of what’s possible when we have the courage to go beyond borders and pursue the callings of our soul.
