Homecoming
Homecoming | Elfie Shiosaki
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Homecoming pieces together fragments of stories about four generations of Noongar women and explores how they navigated the changing landscapes of colonisation, protectionism, and assimilation to hold their families together. This seminal collection of poetry, prose and historical colonial archives, tells First Nations truths of unending love for childrenthose that were present, those taken, those hidden and those that ultimately stood in the light. Homecoming speaks to the intergenerational dialogue about Country, kin and culture. This elegant and extraordinary form of restorative story work amplifies Aboriginal womens voices, and enables four generations of women to speak for themselves. This sublime debut highlights the tenacity of family as well as First Nations agency to resist, survive and renew. Elfie Shiosaki has restored humanity and power to her family in this beautifully articulated collection and has given voice to those silenced by our brutal past.

Bought this today. Read it today. Wow. Fragments of stories from four generations of Noongar women (southwest Western Australian). Part biography, part poetry. It just won our state Premier‘s award for an emerging writer. It‘s been on a number of other prize long-lists too. Loved it 😍😢🙏
