Any good Australian poems about immigrants/by immigrants? (1 Viewer)

[BillieGoataboe]

I cannot think of any! I was looking for one for an English essay, to compare with poems about standard "white Australian born male who grew up and lives in suburbia" , and how they both 'shape the Australian identity'.

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

Definately Peter SKRZYNECKI, although I believe Shan TAN's picture books on the immigrant experience would be wonderful as well.
