From The Inside Looking Out
2020 General Anthology
Editor: Sarah-Rose Mutch
Cover Photo Artwork: Caroline Caldwell
2020. A stressful year, but also a year of inner reflection, of discovering what is important in life. It was a year for creators, because what else can you do when you’re stuck inside, but create?
This Anthology is the culmination of that creativity. Authors from all over Australia
submitted amazing work that encompassed some level of reflection, from the inside looking out. Each story and poem offers a creatively considered view of new worlds, current times, as well as past events.
Where Are We Now?
2019 General Anthology
Editor: Sarah-Rose Mutch
Cover Photo: Stephanie Taylor
The pieces in this anthology dive into many aspects of the world as we know it, what it once was, and what it could be. Each one was selected based on merit, but once combined, they create an anthology that keeps you asking, “where are we now?”
In this book, you will journey to far corners of Australia, take a trip to Kyrgyzstan and Argentina, and jump out into space and alternate realities.
Throughout your journey of reading this Anthology, we hope you find comfort in the words and make a home, if just for a moment.
Reflections – Poetry Inspired by Geelong
2018 Poetry Anthology
Editor: Justine Stella
For this anthology, a group of images were selected and published on the Geelong Writers website with our call for submissions. We asked our authors to respond poetically to images that inspired them. Our aim was to create a local focus and encourage originality while paying homage to a place very dear to us.
The poems that have made their way into the anthology made their way into our hearts. In these pages you will find poems as varied as the poets themselves. It’s clear that there’s something inspiring about Geelong, which is reflected in this anthology.
