Open
Recently we have been running a very special multilingual writing project called In a Flash, inviting people of all ages to send us a very short story or poem in English, Mandarin, Arabic or Vietnamese. We’ve been getting such wonderful responses that we’ve decided to extend the deadline to next year to allow more time for people to submit their writing! Here’s one of the many great submissions we have received: Stranded upon the shore, battered, beat and sore. A glimpse of hope starts to rise River water taking human size River-person helped the boat To keep it balanced and to stay afloat As the boat sailed away into morning light The river person sunk back into the water that night Submissions are now open until the 28th February! Follow the link in our bio to find out more and enter now. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
