AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The woods reclined, disappearing as the mountain staggered towards the sky. The tall, all-knowing trees
had witnessed adult secrets on children’s lips. Workers hacked away memory and monstrosity against hickory pine, axes swinging until devastation fell. The resounding crack snapped through the air, alerting all who lived there. One burden laid to rest, one truth uncovered, misfortune put to the test.' (Introduction)

    'Verandah started with a simple premise—that students at Deakin University (then Victoria College) should have an opportunity to publish their poetry, fiction and non-fiction, alongside the work of established writers and artists, knowing that all submissions would be critically evaluated and the final pieces selected on merit. As young writers ourselves, we also wanted to investigate the editing and publishing process, and recognise the creative role that editors and publishers play in honing a work and creating a collection.'
