The focus of the anthology is on Australian life as seen through each author’s unique, and seldom heard, perspective. With works by Ellen van Neerven, Graham Akhurst, Kyle Lynch, Ezekiel Kwaymullina, Olivia Muscat, Mimi Lee, Jessica Walton, Kelly Gardiner, Rafeif Ismail, Yvette Walker, Amra Pajalic, Melanie Rodriga, Omar Sakr, Wendy Chen, Jordi Kerr, Rebecca Lim, Michelle Aung Thin and Alice Pung, this anthology is designed to challenge the dominant, homogenous story of privilege and power that rarely admits ‘outsider’ voices.

Reviews

‘… the range of voices, styles and experiences makes for lively, thoughtful and entertaining reading … Springing from the passion and insistence of its editors and contributors, Meet Me at the Intersection is the kind of inspired publishing I wish there was more of in Australia.’ 

—Leanne Hall, YA specialist, Readings

‘The book’s shining glory is the striking empathy that radiates through the prose and poetry. The protagonists on the page aren’t one-dimensional or stereotypical, nor are they tokenistic props … Instead they reflect specificity and nuance, and translate difficult and oftentimes serious themes into work that can be appreciated by young adults without descending into condescension.’ 

—Pelican Magazine

‘… fresh and important.’
