Refugia
Refugia is an unparalleled work of vision and political fury from Noongar and Yawuru poet and scholar Elfie Shiosaki. Inspired by the beeliar (Swan River) and the NASA James Webb Space Telescope’s first year of science, this collection draws on colonial archives to contest the occupation of Noongar Country.
As the bicentennial year of the colony of Western Australia approaches, Shiosaki looks to the stars and back to the earth to make sense of memory and the afterlife of imperial violence.
Praise for Refugia
“A testament to the long memory of Country.”
– Raelee Lancaster
“Refugia creates a powerful pathway of poetry, asserting the right to truth telling with each word placed on paper and reclaiming that which was washed away in the high tide of colonisation.”
– Charmaine Papertalk Green
