Two books. Walking the Clouds's cover has a night background. There's a red planet in the sky, and strings of cowrie shells. A collaged figure stands on ochre ground, possibly on another planet. A similar figure stands on a cowrie shell. This All Come Back Now's cover also has a night sky. With a star, moon, hands and three silhouettes of dingos. There's pink and purple mountains, with two silhouettes of people standing far apart.

   Today's @indigenousauthors book recommendation from me is two spec fic anthologies:
   Walking The Clouds: an Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction (2012) edited by Grace L Dillion, a writer and academic of Anishinaabe descent.

   This All Come Back Now: an Anthology of First Nations Speculative Fiction (2022) edited by Mykaela Saunders, a Koori writer and scholar of Dharug decent.

   Walking the Clouds was a ground-breaking book that inspired many writers and started a wave of Indigenous Futurism. It's exciting seeing more and more Indigenous writers create, fuse, experiment, disrupt literature in ways that combine old and new ways of storytelling.
