'The third series of Vagabond's chapbooks imprint deciBels expands upon the range offered in its first and second series. Edited by Michelle Cahill and Dimitra Harvey, this third set is more focussed on publishing diasporic non-white voices, and as a whole is a collective articulation of alienation and otherness, and making sense of one's old and new lives and homes. It's an attempt to carve a space within the Australian literary landscape. But more than this, these books speak to the attempts of poets, as migrants or refugees, to form community and lasting personal connections, and to establish roots in a country that does not feel like home.'
