'Benjamin’s parents passed away years ago, yet
no dust had settled in the house. He was left-handed, yet wrote with his right, and continued to playthe violin despite his hatred for the instrument. For Benjamin, days passed quietly, as he preferred solitude and left the house only to water the gardens or buy groceries for himself and his mother’s old lump of a dog, Chester. Much of his time was spent by the window of the main room with a cup of tea
or the occasional glass of scotch, contemplating the outside world with a hint of philosophical disdain.' (Introduction)

    'Verandah started with a simple premise—that students at Deakin University (then Victoria College) should have an opportunity to publish their poetry, fiction and non-fiction, alongside the work of established writers and artists, knowing that all submissions would be critically evaluated and the final pieces selected on merit. As young writers ourselves, we also wanted to investigate the editing and publishing process, and recognise the creative role that editors and publishers play in honing a work and creating a collection.'
