'Perfect is a powerful collection of stories and poems told with honesty, clarity and beauty by the residents of Common Ground. This collection gives voice to the contributors' personal experiences of family, friendship, displacement and the undercurrent of the cities and towns in which they live. Here you will find tales of heartbreak and self acceptance, of returning from the brink, and finding a place to call home. These sophisticated stories capture the very best of the participants' work in their own voices. This project was a partnership between the SA Writers Centre and Common Ground residents from Adelaide and Port Augusta, supported by the Government of South Australia.' (Publication summary)
