She concludes that the law, however principled & ordered we perceive it to be, can be used as a form of violence & oppression. Also that intergenerational trauma transcends time, place and generations. #TheStellaPrize

A joy to read but also devastating (to say the least) because no Palestinian has ever been allowed to return to their ancestral & rightful home. Since the Mandate & then the Nakba, it continues to be invaded. Everyone should read this. #TheStellaPrize

A fascinating & varied short story collection about women & childlessness. Nelson weaves these different stories from a dancer who learns that she can never have children, to elderly twin sisters who have decided to die on their own terms. Funny, sad & insightful. #TheStellaPrize

Such a tender & sad memoir about family, memory, First Nations' deep relationship w/ Country and their devastating loss as a result of colonization. Dank's writing is lyrical, rhythmic and yes I agree, we all need to read this & just listen. Australia really needs a proper reckoning. #TheStellaPrize

Ending my #TheStellaPrize read with this thought-provoking collection of essays. Tackles the commodification of art, selling out, the idea of the struggling writer & whether creating art full-time is sustainable. Shit Jobs & This Unskilled Life are standouts. Great debut @mxcreant.bsky.social

Absolutely enjoyed this anthology of speculative fiction stories written from a Goori perspective. Rich w/ culture, nature and Country. Such a diverse and refreshing take on ecological collapse, dystopia & future tech from an Indigenous lense set in the Tweed in QLD. So good! #TheStellaPrize

do better in reframing the way that Indigenous people are portrayed by the mainstream media and question these portrayals deeply. Their experiences have been degrading & dehumanizing. We should always remember that they are human too. Sovereignty was never ceded. #TheStellaPrize

Her longing for knowledge through Scripture & writing leads her to a monk's journey culminating in the highest office of The Church, Rome. She has to fend off all temptations to keep her disguise. Also questions why a life of service should be deprived of joy, love & pleasure. #TheStellaPrize
