1 Blinding Whiteness : Science and Colonialism in the World’s Deepest South Coen Hird , 2022 single work essay
— Appears in: Griffith Review , no. 77 2022; (p. 225-235)

'I’M STANDING ON the coastline looking seaward, feet planted deeply in the gold-­coated crystal sands that were once part of ancient mountains far to the south. The rock carries its story of a long tidal journey north, testament to the power of deep time. Earth is carried from freshwater to saltwater and to freshwater again. This is a story known well to Australia’s eastern beaches.' (Introduction)
