AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An initiative of the Multicultural Writers Association of Australia, Culture Is ... is a collection of vivid storytelling by established and emerging writers from around Australia, with a notable proportion of work from Indigenous Australians, South Australian, non-metropolitan writers, and women. Emerging writers are represented in the 45 selected pieces, which cover a range of authors from different linguistic origins. The 22 prose works, juxtaposed with 23 poems, have subtle contrasts and parallels. [...] Significantly, several poems are bilingual and have been either translated from English into the author's mother tongue or were written in a language other than English, then translated. These include poems in Chinese, Italian, Slovene and Spanish.' -- Publisher's media release.
