"Border Crossing" by Caitlin Maling is a poetry collection that explores the themes of identity, place, and belonging through the lens of the Australian landscape. The poems in the collection reflect on Maling's personal experiences growing up in rural Western Australia and her travels throughout the country. Through vivid and evocative language, Maling paints a portrait of the Australian landscape as a site of both beauty and violence, where the natural world is often in conflict with human desires and ambitions. The collection also delves into the complex history of the Australian continent, including its Indigenous cultures and colonial legacy. With its lyrical and introspective style, "Border Crossing" offers a rich and nuanced exploration of the Australian experience and the ongoing search for identity and meaning in a changing world.
