Cirrus@Austlit

'Our third issue features some familiar voices as well as some brand-new ones and, for the first time, includes short prose as well as poetry.

'What all the writing in this issue shares in common is a deep engagement with the stories and histories embedded in each of the fourteen languages represented in this issue, and what it means to find oneself carrying these into an uncertain future. In these pages, you will find writers speaking of their parents’ pasts, their own present as they move between languages and negotiate a sense of self within them, and the challenge of raising children who retain a connection to their parents’ languages and cultures while thriving in Australia.' (From : Nadia Niaz, Introduction)
