Hey Jess!! Welcome to the forums!! ;D

Just before I go off recommending and ranting about something you've already tried, have you considered Peter Skrzynecki's poetry?

Cool! Well it used to be a prescribed text, lots of resources out there, so you might do a Google to complement this answer. However, I think I'd personally go for Feliks Skrzynecki, it explores the changing relationship of a migrant to his father. It's not designed for Discovery, so you might need to do a little more work to draw out the links, but the concepts are there and it is FULL of techniques ;D
