1 First Fleet : Little Annals (from a Work-in-progress) Emma Scully Jones , Fiona McFarlane , 2018 extract sequence prose
— Appears in: Island , no. 153 2018; (p. 36-41)

'A note on the text

'What follows is part of a larger work-in-progress in which a poet and a novelist respond to the archival records of every convict who set out for Botany Bay on the First Fleet. Italicised words are taken directly from contemporary sources; lineated sections, also taken directly from the sources, have been rearranged by the authors into found poems. 

'The authors acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the traditional owners of the place we now call Sydney, where many of these events take place.' (Introduction)
