Dropbear 2021
Dropbear is a 2021 poetry and prose collection by Evelyn Araluen, an Aboriginal poet from the Bundjalung people. Published in 2021 by University of Queensland Press, it won the 2022 Stella Prize, making it the first poetry book to achieve this honor. The work was also shortlisted for the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards, the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards, and the Queensland Literary Awards. Described as part of the Indigenous "literary resistance", the collection unsettles settler Australia consciousness with power and precision according to Jeanine Leane in the Sydney Review of Books, leaving no colonial tropes or settler platitudes unchallenged or unscathed.
