Plague Stories: Essays on life in a reshaped world
This book was produced in partnership with RMIT’s undergraduate Creative Writing program
What do our stories become when we lose control?
Throughout history and throughout our lives, our plagues have taken on unique forms, but always on battlegrounds of disruption within strange new realities that we must face individually and together.
Grappling with history, isolation, memory and meaning during Victoria’s strict lockdown regime, twenty-three unique voices come together to tell their Plague Stories.
The fifth edition of the Bowen Street Press Review is proudly presented in collaboration with RMIT University’s Creative Writing program.
