- This small 100 page collection from poet and academic Evelyn Araluen is simply magnificent. It was announced last week as the winner of the 2022 Stella Prize, a prize that over the last ten years has become one of the most prestigious in Australian publishing.
- Containing 42 short poetry and essay pieces, it is powerful in every way but far from an easy read. It is dense in meaning, highly literary and political, and totally unsettling and confronting.
- I had to read most of the poems a number of times before I felt I got them. And then I had to read them again.
- Unlike 99% of back cover blurbs this one truthfully describes this book. Well done UQP:
