I haven’t read much poetry so I don’t know ‘good’ poetry but I loved this. Especially ‘a blue morning,’ ‘digital native,’ and ‘how to make a basket’

Poetry is all encompassing,
Encapturing
Enticing
Enhancing
Thoughts emotions ideas feeling
A few little words contain the universe.
Deep, heartfelt, moving.

A personal, political and powerful debut about culture, queerness, care and contemporary life in the Australian colony. Grateful.

‘how to make a basket
first you must begin
with the grasses
first you must tend the blades
the sweet small shoots
first you must make healthy the soil
care for this place
tend with fire
carry the seeds
first you must make the land right
first you must love your mother
what you care for will care for you
when you are ready
you will understand
how to make a basket’
(How to make a basket)
‘my heart
is breaking
in these arms
but I swear
if you could see this face
you would let your heart
be broken
again this morning’
