Archival-Poetics is a book of poetry by the Australian poet and Narungga woman Natalie Harkin. It was first published in 2019 by Vagabond Press.
It won the Kate Challis RAKA Award in 2020.
Archival-Poetics is inspired by letters written by Harkin's grandmother and other family members. The letters were kept in the South Australia's Aboriginal Records archive. The poetry collection consists of three chapbooks in a slipcase, where each chapbook's cover shows an image from a performance by Harkin titled Archive-Fever-Paradox. [1] The book is "a collage of archival extracts together with the writer's poetry, artwork, weaving and installation photo-stills", a form of docu-poetry. [2]
Rather than a family memoir, Archival-Poetics "re-enacts the experience of confronting the record, with its heart-stopping shocks of finding her loved ones negated". [1]
The book won the Kate Challis RAKA Award in 2020. [3] It received positive reviews in several literary journals. [4] [5] [6]

Latin American poetry is the poetry written by Latin American authors. Latin American poetry is often written in Spanish, but is also composed in Portuguese, Mapuche, Nahuatl, Quechua, Mazatec, Zapotec, Ladino, English, and Spanglish. The unification of Indigenous and imperial cultures produced a unique and extraordinary body of literature in this region. Later with the introduction of African slaves to the new world, African traditions greatly influenced Latin American poetry. Many great works of poetry were written in the colonial and pre-colonial time periods, but it was in the 1960s that the world began to notice the poetry of Latin America. Through the modernismo movement, and the international success of Latin American authors, poetry from this region became increasingly influential.
