A rich and honest conversation about the life’s of First Nations Australians against the backdrop of cultural and current affairs. Rich with intertextuality and clearly acknowledges the push and pull of Australian culture

3.75 a large portion was very thought provoking although I personally didn’t like the structure and some of the pieces were kind of rambling but extremelyyy relevant so overall I enjoyed it

The Stella Prize-winning poetry collection is an extraordinary debut that uses Australiana as a tool to cut through colonial fantasy. Political, personal, fierce, tender, playful and stark. Bravo, and thank you.
