Voiceworks' 21st Anniversary Book Launch - The Words We Found

12th Nov 2009

Presenter: Voiceworks and Express Media

Event Duration: 120 minutes

Over the last 21 years Voiceworks magazine has published some of Australia’s best writing by young people. Edited by Lisa Dempster, The Words We Found is our coming-of-age anthology and, like all good 21st celebrations, it’s a fierce, flirtatious and furious record of our life so far.

More than a generation of writers have made their first forays into publishing with Voiceworks. Help us relive the optimism, the tenderness and the occasional bad behaviour that has accompanied our adolescence.

What they said:

'What resounds through each page is the song each writer sings through their craft - a dizzying cavalcade of thoughts, a profusion of wit. Breathtaking not only in its scope but in its ambition.' Marieke Hardy.

'Voiceworks is the Australian literary journal I most look forward to receiving in the mail. There have been moments where I have been excited, times when I have been moved, occasions of being astonished.' Christos Tsiolkas.

'Amazing! Twenty-one years later and Voiceworks has stayed true to its ideals and still speaks with a great and unwavering pride.'
Wendy Harmer.
