1 1 y separately published work icon Borderless : A Transnational Anthology of Feminist Poetry Saba Vasefi (editor), Melinda Smith (editor), Yvette Holt (editor), Canberra : Recent Work Press , 2021 23092608 2021 anthology poetry

'Borderless presents a collection of brand new, specially commissioned poems from a wide range of contemporary poets reflecting on feminism in its broadest sense. While it builds on the work of previous anthologies, in this one the voices of First Nations, refugee and migrant poets are a deliberate focus. These poems plunge the reader deep into the experience of life in the world, at this moment, in a woman’s body, and explore multitudinous versions of what that can mean.'
