Another poetry collection that is so cool you should buy one for yourself too. It’s Marxism it’s pop it’s the proletariat. Buy for: your friend in your group secret santa, or the person you chat to most about eating the rich

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

I have no idea how Isabella Mead had the headspace or memory to exactly capture so much of early parenting days in poetry form, but she has. Buy for: your mum friend who you would like to know that you *see* her and all that she does

140

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

This one is partly about working in offshore detention with refugees, so content warning for upsetting themes. Pettitt-Schipp’s writing is accessible and very beautiful. Buy for: your politically engaged family members

130

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Another seriously cool collection about femininity and queerness and being Filipina-Australian. There is at least one very sexy poem in this. Buy for: your femme crush

130

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

This is a really excellent exploration of Boorlo/Perth via engagement with colonial archives and loads of cosmological metaphors. Buy for: your friend the emerging writer who wants to learn about voice and research based writing, or your cousin who cares (or ought to) about First Nations writing

140

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Judith Beveridge will be right up there as a potential Australian poet laureate (once we get one!) I think. The language is accessible but the poems are complex and extremely image based. Queen of metaphors. Buy for: your immediate family member who loves walking in nature/on the beach

140

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

This one is super dark with complex literary devices, it not easy going cognitively nor thematically. But its language rings out. Content warning serious mental health themes. Buy for: your writerly friend or the mother of a complex teen

140

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

This one is super accessible and won a bunch of awards. Barrina South writes about longing and everyday life and her relationship to country as a First Nations person. Buy for: the aunt who you got in secret santa

130

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Toby Fitch is one of my fav Australian poets and they have new work coming out next year which is SO exciting. This one has lots about parenting and Sydney and Covid (content warning). Buy for: your Covid conscious friend or a friend who studied literature but doesn’t read enough now or a Sydney pal

160

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

This one is so cool, heaps of concrete poetry (poems in shapes), and lots about mental health. But this for: your cherished queer friend you chat about being tired with

140

Hannah McCann @binarythis.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

This one WON the Prime Minister’s Literary award this year. Super accessible, can buy for poetry fans and those new to poetry. Includes lots of animal rights poems. Buy for: pretty much anyone

Devastating reading the final edition of @meanjin.bsky.social As @anatolitis.bsky.social says in the editorial “We need these words desperately”

And this is exactly why poetry is relatively safe from AI. It’s not worth anything to capital! Thank you Maggie Nelson!! 🙇🏻‍♀️

For anyone currently revising (or doubling down on) their view of Taylor Swift, may I direct you to Holly Randall Moon’s excellent analysis in our edited collection from earlier this year, well before TLOASG landed…

Absolutely horrific concepts for the university sector from Bill Shorten, now VC of the University of Canberra. A vision for the utter decimation of higher education

PSA that there is cheap (good!) lunch on campus at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre cafe. The woman today told me I was only the third person in for the day — it’s quiet and they need our support! Level 4 of the building with the student food court. UniMelb people please reshare 🙏🏼

Went to an event at UniMelb today on the “Social Model of Disability: 40 years on” as part of the new Critical Disability Studies Seminar Series and it was so damn good (speakers Tom Shakespeare, Scott Avery, and Lorna Hallahan)

So excited about this Mitch Brown news. Can you believe the AFL was the only major sporting league where no man had ever come out as bisexual or gay 🫠 www.instagram.com/p/DN1x3HA5Pn...

Really did not except Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut to be so captivating and brilliant. Definitely would not have seen if I knew the subject matter beforehand, but she dealt with trauma without any spectacle. I could barely leave my seat at the credits #MIFF2025

Very much enjoyed these two #MIFF2025 films — Peter Hujar’s day which is both exceptionally boring and exceptionally beautiful, and By Design which is quite literally “Juliette Lewis turns into a chair”
