This book delves into the relationship between people and wild animals. It’s part philosophical treatise, part journalistic investigation into some of the ethical dilemmas involved in conservation.
Losing Face tells the story of 19-year-old Joey, who has just finished high school in Western Sydney and doesn't know what to do with himself. Initially this feels like an amiable-if-anxious coming-of-age story until things take a much darker turn when Joey is involved in a sexual assault.⁠
This collection of poetry and poetically rendered archival material documents several generations of Noongar women and the devastating impact of Western Australia’s government on them.
