'The thirteenth edition of Monash University’s creative writing annual collects work inspired by this year’s theme: Chimera.
'Chimera is something desired but always out of reach. The faceless figures of dreams, the disappearing fountain of an unrelenting desert: for those willing to make the journey, chimera exists as hope unrealised.
