âtulip lips and birdhouse chests. broken alarm clocks and lipstick-stained slot machines. butter. goggles. candles. a garland made of raisins. she drinks cherries and grows weeds and mistakes her garden bed for a dustpan. she is old western and new hollywood and an answering machine you canât stop calling.â

Our protagonist lives beneath the gaze of a tapestry in the home of her bell-tongued grandmother. Even in its absence, the gaze of the tapestry follows her â" as her family migrate from Peru to Australia and begins to splinter apart, as she grasps to a tentative place on monkey bars and in office cubicles, as she learns to wax her body and to morph herself for ideas of love â" until something changes her vision of all that is beautiful.

From award-winning poet Arantza Garca Ferrand, Cotton-stuffed is a collaged collection of idioms and ephemera and conversations with succulents. It is a questioning of archives and who is allowed into them. And mostly, it is a coming-of-age love letter to queer relationships, migrant families and anyone feeling the tugs and shifts of identity.

'A captivating, lyrical meditation on family, migration, identity and home â" from a sharp and ambitious new voice in Australian writing. The glorious creative abandon with which Garcia Ferrand approaches form, structure and sentence will surely render this stunning debut a contemporary Australian classic.' Maxine Beneba Clarke
