1 y separately published work icon Left Turn on Red Permitted After Stopping UTS Writers' Group (editor), Sydney : Brio Books , 2022 25418147 2022 anthology short story

'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.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon And Watch The Whale Explode : UTS Writer's Anthology 2017 UTS Writers' Group (editor), Sydney : Xoum , 2017 10867786 2017 anthology poetry

'When a whale washes up on the shore of a beach there is only one surety: it must explode. Sometimes a bystander, anticipating the inevitable, pokes the gaseous figure; the skin rips, and it is done. Our world can feel like the brimming belly of a beached whale, the pressure building, an indeterminate force compelling us to take an explosive action, even when it makes little to no sense.

'A girl takes a pair of shears to a black-dashed line on her skin; a woman tries to stem the flow of snake venom in the blood of a man who is already dead; an epileptic wears a crash helmet ‘round the clock; a man with only one good arm cuts it off with a chainsaw, and how?

'After every explosion, a throng of people approach the beach cautiously, collecting the debris together.

'Introduced by celebrated Australian essayist, poet and critic, Fiona Wright, And Watch the Whale Explode is the 31st edition of the UTS Writers’ Anthology. ' (Publication summary)

1 2 y separately published work icon We All Need a Witness : UTS Writers' Anthology UTS Writers' Group (editor), Blackheath : Brandl and Schlesinger , 2008 Z1510125 2008 anthology short story poetry 'The stories in We All Need a Witness take us into worlds that are humble, mad, strange, poignant, or romantic. ... There is a sense, across the collection, of longing; a fascination with the haphazard materiality of books, letters and other modes of communication; of the complicated nature of feeling. Most of all, these are stories with a great sense of being at home, not only in Australia but in this planet's far-flung places. This is a collection that does not just look in, but out into the world.' -- From the Forward by Delia Falconer, pp. 7,8.
