Cellar Door: The University of Sydney Student Anthology 2008

Description

'Open it up, this catalogue of memory in black-and-white, where the mind may wander ...' Take the passage through the cellar door, as the pages of this anthology lead you down dark steps into a room lit up with ideas, words and wonder. Skip across continents, see colour anew, dress in the costumes of loved ones or fall through the earth into a world below. The University of Sydney's Master of Publishing students bring you a selection of creative works from our finest emerging writers.

The University of Sydney Student Anthology is an annual publication showcasing the creative works of current University of Sydney students. The project is run by students from the Master of Publishing program, and supported by the School of Letters, Arts and Media and Sydney University Press.

'The collection includes some excellent stories: Matthew Fenwick's "Marine Parade", Barbara Hatten's "The Mending", Joan Short's "Fading" and "A Full Circle" by Zainah Rifaath Anver are substantial and powerful. ...' 'The standout talent in in this collection is poet Theodore Ell, whose poems "Cold Snap" and "Pardon the Scherzo" show a loving familiarity with the history of poetry in England, as well as great confidence and skill with poetic techniques and forms.'
