This ground-breaking anthology collects poems written by Australian poets who are migrants, their children, and refugees of Asian heritage, spanning work that covers over three decades of writing. This anthology is a landmark in a rich, diversely-textured and evolving story.
..it is clear from the quality of the works collected that the project… is a thoughtful, sensitively realised one that seeks to go beyond mere representation to explore a beautifully ambiguous, ambivalent and therefore more exciting set of linguistic, historical and cultural possibilities.
Congratulations to Puncher & Wattman for their support of a fine project, to the three editors, the cohort of writers featured and a hearty recommendation from the team at Peril to seek out the collection.
