Where to begin. The whale ghosts by Elias Greig is classic creative nonfiction but adds something new to the genre and speaks to suburb dwellers like me. In the only flats in a posh suburb by Belinda Rule, the middle class lower than you class pains. I would prefer not to by Ellena Savage and worker panopticon. Jon Piccino's review of A New Britannia in decolonial times, a great example of Australian thought that isn't racist. Imagining a new conversation with the landscape by Jane Crowley, gently introduces readers and pays homage to First Nations knowledge keepers. Taking what's owed by Rafi Alam and lifemaking through the pandemic by Miriam Jones are both current and obvious while being painful, hopeful, radical. Everything I needed to read, feel and learn today.
