Open it up, this catalogue of memory in black-and-white, where the mind may wander ...
Take the passage through the cellar door, as the pages of this anthology lead you down dark steps into a room lit up with ideas, words and wonder. Skip across continents, see colour anew, dress in the costumes of loved ones or fall through the earth into a world below.
The University of Sydney's Master of Publishing students bring you a selection of creative works from our finest emerging writers.
The collection includes some excellent stories: Matthew Fenwicks Marine Parade, Barbara Hattens The Mending, Joan Shorts Fading and A Full Circle by Zainah Rifaath Anver are substantial and powerful.
The standout talent in in this collection is poet Theodore Ell, whose poems Cold Snap and Pardon the Scherzo show a loving familiarity with the history of poetry in England, as well as great confidence and skill with poetic techniques and forms.
