From morning reflections on Australia's most polluted urban waterway, the 'Cooks River', to a discursive rumination on the history of whaling from the cliffs of Kamay, and an archival interrogation of Australia's colonial 'coalture' on the NSW South Coast, the three 'drifts' gathered here weave the poet's own bodily thought-steps to a socio-historical critique of three 'resources' key to the early colonial project: water, whales, and coal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an Eco-Marxist experiment in poetic composition, or poetic composting, these local histories are further drawn into conversation with the transnational free-market forces that shaped them.
