"You need a desperate, hungry energy to tell a story, to write a poem, to scratch at the surface of a life and see what slithers beneath. That energy infuses this collection." – Emily Maguire

Perspectives is all about the energy that permeates stories and artistic pursuits, the desperate need for creative outlet and expression, and the passion that pours out and onto the pages. Whether from the perspective of an experienced writer or a newcomer, there is always that shared feeling and drive to create new worlds and express inner emotions. The voices of the twenty-nine new writers and artists included in this anthology explore a diverse range of themes and provide fresh, inspiring perspectives with a fierce drive and energy.
