The First Issue of the Australian Multilingual Writing Project

It’s aliiiive!

The first issue of the Australian Multilingual Writing Project is done and out in the world now. It features some wonderful poetry that mixes English with Spanish, Finnish, Tagalog, Russian/Bengali, Chinese, Hindu/Urdu, Dutch, Indonesian, and more.

Editing it was challenging but that is par for the course with multilingual poetry. In the end, I think I ended up with just the right number of poems. The collection is small, but strong, and each poem is a whole world unto itself.

Now to cook up the call for submissions for the next issue!
