Grieve Vol. 13
In Australian culture, grief is frequently brushed aside and left unacknowledged. The inception of the Grieve Project struck a chord within our community, inspiring people – whether they identified as writers or not – to attempt to articulate the ineffable, to give shape to complex emotions surrounding loss.
Newcastle Poetry Prize
Prize winning and shortlisted poems are published in the annual Newcastle Poetry Prize anthology which captures the diversity of Australian poetry as it evolves.
Love
Love. It is a beautiful mess of complex, confusing and interconnecting emotions. For some, it means romance, for others, family. There are those who understand love as empowerment and resistance; those who say it is created from nothing; and those who believe it is always there, binding the universe together, waiting for us to find it and grab on tight. In this mesmerising collection of stories, poems and essays, you are invited to take a journey through dingy streets and pristine sunsets, delve deep into the tormented soul, and explore that big crazy thing called the human heart.
