I just met Dames @mylittlebookshop_ and purchased I just met Dames @mylittlebookshop_ and purchased Ocean Vuong’s poetry collection. Why is the Palmer’s party blocking my ocean view? I also learnt today that Perth has 17 independent bookshops! Amazing! 😮🧡👍 (P.S. Why didn’t Clive’s peeps try to get my vote? They approached many people who said they can’t vote because they are Brits and Kiwis! I was on the bench next to them at one stage. I wonder if it’s because I had my mask on, so they assumed I wasn’t into freedom freedom freedom! 😷😜🤪🥸😷). #independentbookshop #perthisokay #poetry #poetryisnotdead #poetrycollection #sunnyday☀️#ocean #oceanvuong #indianocean #timeisamother #indiebookstore

I acknowledge the people of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which I live. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and to the wider Noongar Community. The languages I have used in my header image acknowledge my own cultural heritages and close friendships. © Emily Sun 2022
