Summary

Border Crossing by Caitlin Maling explores the evolving identity of an Australian living in America, weaving themes of home, displacement, and cultural intersection. The poems transition from the raw reflections of childhood in Western Australia in her first volume to a nuanced contemplation of geography, environment, and belonging abroad. Maling’s work is deeply rooted in place, capturing both the physical and emotional landscapes of crossing borders in the twenty-first century.

Description

Caitlin Maling's second volume, Border Crossing, continues to showcase the development of an exciting new voice in Australian poetry. Now, Maling's poems shift from the first volume's gritty treatment of childhood and adolescence growing up in WA, to a consideration of what it is to be an Australian in America, where the conflicting voices and identities of home and abroad jostle against and seek their definitions from each other. In this volume, as in the first, her emphasis on place—geography and environment—is as strong as ever.

Critics praise Border Crossing as a poignant and timely collection. Peter Minter notes it as a "twenty-first century lament for humanity and nature" and a celebration of poetic imagination. Caroline Caddy highlights Maling's skillful portrayal of the nuances of culture and geography, calling her poems "pointed, human and fresh." Writing WA believes the collection "will resonate with many," while the Weekend Australian applauds her observational and metonymic method that bridges diverse disciplines and memories.
