show you're working out
What do you get if you cross Pākehā stories from the rural south of Te Waipounamu with scissors, glue and a want to reveal structural and personal violences of settler colonisation? It’s not a joke but some parts of liz breslin’s third full length collection, show you’re working out, are funny. The play on ‘your’/’you’re’ destabilises a singular sense of story — showing that you’re working out is what it can feel important to do in a relationship, or a small community, when you want to be accepted. And ‘show your working out’ is what maths exams at school sometimes say. Put marks on the page to signify the thinking that you have done.
