Dropbear by Evelyn Araluen

challenging emotional inspiring tense fast-paced

4.0

This is a fierce collection of poems and essays by Evelyn Araluen. She notes that "our resistance, therefore, must also be literary" and Dropbear is just that. Her writing is powerful, smart and evocative. The poems conjure time and place and raw emotions. She also unpacks lots of tropes, attitudes and literary colonialism as a product of invasion, and thus her writing is piercing light and fire to those very things. Can't wait to read her next collection
