'In its fortieth year, the UTS Writers’ Anthology is Australia’s longest running student series and remains highly regarded among its writing community. Well recognised as a breeding ground for emerging talent it has published the early writing of authors including Gillian Mears, Patti Miller, Toby Fitch, Alison Whittaker, MTC Cronin, Rachel Ward and Erica Harrison.
'‘[this book] offers its readers the timeless, vital gift of slantwise truth-telling.’ Emily Bitto
'This year, the writing remains exceptional. From crab blood running blue, to a girlfriend that’s literally the devil incarnate, from city-dwelling lambs to country-dwelling matriarchs, from a range of mothers – others’ mothers included – and poems, stories and essays that will make you laugh, cry, fear and hope, this collection from Australia’s newest writers offers a refreshing take on the current scene.'
