1 Swallow the Moon Kate Constable , Priya Kuriyan (illustrator), 2015 single work short story graphic novel young adult
— Appears in: Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean 2015;

A young woman undergoes initiation into adulthood through intimate contact with the sea and the moon. At first seemingly set in some ‘ancient’ past amongst a ‘tribal’ people, ‘Swallow the Moon’ eventually reveals itself as occurring instead in a de-evolved, post-apocalyptic future. Traditional emblems of femininity are used liberally and uncritically, providing opportunities for students to locate and critique their use without authorial bias.
