Archival-Poetics is a book of poetry by the Australian poet and Narungga woman Natalie Harkin.
Archival-Poetics is inspired by letters written by Harkin's grandmother and other family members.
[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.
