'Evocative. Unsettling. Unafraid.

'Ritual is a ground-breaking new publication which centres and celebrates the diversity of contemporary Muslim- Australian identities and experiences through the timeless power of the written word.

'As Australia’s first anthology to showcase the work of Muslim-identifying poets, the collection offers an urgent and necessary contribution to the global tradition of Islamic-inspired poetry – fifteen hundred years in the making!' (Publication summary)

'In a cultural landscape where non-white voices are often expected to represent or speak for everyone who looks like them, Jessie Tu is simply telling one story.'

'Reap is my first collection of poetry. Some written for the page, while others are performance pieces. Anything you find strange about this book is necessary, from every item on the cover to hidden messages to moving clock hands to seemingly incorrect punctuation to missing pages. It's up to you to work out what it all means to you.'
