The Quotidian (2017)

Read Me (2011)
Read Me will lead you from a tiny village in Eastern Europe to the emperors of China. You’ll meet peasants and kings. Sailors, lovers and brilliant inventors will cross your way. And once you’ve finished you’ll hear the pages whispering: ‘Read me again.’
Sandstone (2010)
Familiar buildings, favourite coffee carts, stone gargoyles, chalk-covered paths – all the same. The mind wanders, imagination takes over; thoughts become words, ideas blur into images. Student becomes creator.
Margins (2009)
Margins are just lines – lines on a page, lines we draw between ourselves and another person, or invisible lines on a map. These lines on a page represent the thoughts, lives and imaginations of Sydney University students.
Cellar Door (2008)
Take the passage through the cellar door, as the pages of this anthology lead you down dark steps into a room lit up with ideas, words and wonder. Skip across continents, see colour anew, dress in the costumes of loved ones or fall through the earth into a world below.
Threads (2007)
University of Sydney students contributed their work to this new anthology, and in their unique ways, each writer has taken up a strand of human fibre and woven it into the resulting stories, poems and essays.
