Voices of the Southern Ocean | anthology launch

Voices of the Southern Ocean is the first initiative of Hobart UNESCO City of Literature. 

This Nipaluna/Hobart anthology features 50 writers, from across the city and some beyond whose work has engaged with the Southern Ocean. Through splash fiction, reflective prose, micro-nonfiction and polar poetry, these authors form a chorus of voices for the ocean, its creatures and its future.

Join contributors for an evening of readings and discussion around the landscape – or seascape – of writing and reading aboard this island.

The collection features many contributors, authors and artists, including: Alyssa Bermudez, Dean Greeno, Dr Annalise Rees, Professor Elizabeth Leane , Jamie Graham-Blair, Kim Bambrook, Meg Bignell, Carmel Bird, Christina Booth, Karen Brooks, Bob Brown, Michelle Cahill, Lucy Christopher, Young Dawkins, Sarah Day, Madeleine Delany, Emily Direen, Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn, Rae Earl, Adrienne Eberhard, Liz Evans,  Lily Fletcher Stojcevski, Tony Flowers, Nicole Gill, Susie Greenhill, Dr Cameron Hindrum, Erin Hortle, Arianne James, Dr Katherine Johnson, Gail Jones, Kate Kruimink, Alison Lester, Alison Mann, Dr Joy McCann, Anne Morgan, Rhys Muldoon, Mallika Naguran, Stephen Nicol, Esther Ottaway, Adam Ouston, Yvette Poshoglian, Jane Rawson, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Theresa Sainty, Katherine Scholes, Rachael Treasure Coral Tulloch Claire van Ryn, Ben Walter, Suyanti Winoto-Lewin, Danielle Wood, Cassandra Wunsch; and a foreword by Rt Hon.
