Demonstrating that it is possible for writing to articulate ethical concerns and enlighten the broader community, this powerful collection of essays explores the relationship between writing and justice. Including thought-provoking contributions from Australian poets, essayists, playwrights, critics, and novelists—including Gail Jones, Eva Sallis, and Frank Brennan—it asks if writing can inform a collective national consciousness and challenge citizens to take action.
