'Jake Goetz splices Southbank strolls with explorer diaries in this jump cut account of Maiwar’s millennia of history. The poem meanders, like the river itself, from headwaters near Kilcoy, bending, switching back on itself before eventually draining into Moreton Bay as the poet grapples with colonialism’s brutal annihilation to find his place in the River City in the 21st century. It’s an ambitious first collection that makes a significant contribution to Meanjin’s mythology.
