Voicing the Dead

You ask, Can the dead speak? I answer, Is this blood that runs in my veins, or ink? I ask that you read me. I ask that you hear me. See me. Touch me. Others have, and tasted my blood So writes Jack Ireland, 14 year old English-born survivor of the horrors of capture by head hunters. In Voicing the Dead, internationally-awarded author Gary Crew revisits the astonishing story of nineteenth-century teenager Jack Ireland who survived and lived to fight back through his never say die determination and creativity.
