A First Nations lyric nonfiction
Shapeshifting, co-edited by Jeanine Leane and Ellen van Neerven, is a wide-ranging collection of nonfiction by First Nations writers that breaks new ground. The lyric essays in this book go beyond traditional biography or academic writing, experimenting with different forms and ways of telling stories. Each piece is carefully shaped and reshaped to challenge familiar ideas about nonfiction and to explore what writing can look like.
Shapeshifting highlights a new and evolving kind of writing, reframed and redefined by First Nations Australian voices. The collection features work by writers including Jennifer Kemarre Martiniello, Natalie Harkin, Timmah Ball, Daniel Browning, Alison Whittaker, Charmaine Papertalk Green, Melanie Saward, Rhianna Patrick, Hugo Comisari, Mykaela Saunders, Evelyn Araluen, Neika Lehman and Jim Everett / puralia meenamatta.
