Brilliant new voice. You can tell they are a poet. Filled with bright images and gay stuff (longing) and land and melancholy. A really good read. Read it! (instead of (or as well as) Honeybee)
Some beautiful, touching stories. Loved the evocation of familiar places.
I adored this. Queer, blak excellence. I'm looking forward to reading more from them.
A solid short story collection - themes of family and connection/disconnection to people and Country. Clearly linked, but not repetitive, fresh, readable and moving prose.
I found the first section mesmerising, the second intriguing (futuristic girl on girl action with mangrove plantoids?!), and the third difficult to stay focused on. all in all, a really interesting short story collection about family and identity.
informative
incredibly written with such important and heart breaking themes pertinent to the First Nations people ♥️

The second, futuristic, part was my highlight. I was really into the plot, language and analogy. The short stories on either side were interesting reflections on queer, first nation experiences. Overall strong storytelling but felt a bit hit and miss for me (probably because it isn't written for me, and that's cool).
