These young essayists, critics, novelists, poets, authors shake down words and works to find styles, forms and meanings that have influenced them and all their writings. These pieces are snapshots of peoples, places and perception.

What does it mean for us when young Indigenous people find their voice in writing?' — Elfie Shiosaki, Editor
