Meet Me at the Intersection by Ambelin Kwaymullina, Rebecca Lim
5.0
There is something quite special about this anthology of Own Voice memoir, poetry and fiction.
The book features works from writers who are First Nations, People of Colour, LGBTIQA+ or living with a disability and offers many wonderfully rich and diverse perspectives and insights.
Hats off to Rebecca Lim and Ambelin Kwaymullina for a really thoughtfully put together collection.
After I finished each short piece I’d think to myself wow that was excellent and sure to be my favourite and then the next one would come along and I’d think no wait, that’s definitely my fav now!
As well as Rebecca and Ambelin, this book features writing from very well known Australian authors like Alice Pung & Ellen Van Neerven but also lesser known (to me) writers who will now be top of my priority list for finding and reading more of their work.
Meet Me at the Intersection was another book that has been sitting on my TBR shelf for a long time…since I purchased it at the CBCA National Conference in 2019 (and had it signed by two of the contributors). I can’t believe I waited so long to get around to reading it!
Don’t be as silly as me - I recommend reading it as soon as you can.
