Voiceworks 87 Play

Take a peek inside the current issue here.

Voiceworks 87 ‘Play’ is like the cute puppy that follows you around and wants to play fetch all the time. You can’t afford not to pick it up and cuddle it (and buy it).

In this issue, Sian Campbell has a ‘standard’ Dungeons and Dragons experience, Alexandra Neill becomes a Quidditch player and Bronwyn Orr looks at the stories behind zoo animals. Katia Pase forgets to call her mother on her fiftieth birthday and J. Alberto Vasquez Sanchez recalls watching B-Movies about giant, evil turtles in El Salvador.

An animal tells you what it wants in Zenobia Frost’s poem, Jaime Garcia explains time travel for ex-addicts. Bettina Tyrrell discusses the production of art (with guinea pigs) and the demise of NASA. Michael Richardson’s story is about internet griefers and Jack Madin’s is about a cut foot on a yacht. Oliver Mol’s protagonist is dressed as a tiger and has memory jigs come in through his ear as little tornadoes.

There’s even more goodness from Rosanna Stevens, Emily Boyd, Mel Pearce, Aaron Billings, Elliot Georgiou, Martina Hoffmann, Miranda Richardson, Jeremy Thompson, James Epstein, Peter Dawncy, Luke Patterson, Ronitte Kohl and Celeste Moore.

Also! We have all the stories and poems from the John Marsden Prize winners, there’s an interview with playwright Chris Summers, the corners of the magazine are a flipbook and the cover is a DIY join-the-dots sort of a deal.

Voiceworks 87 is the perfect stocking-filler, especially if your giftee is a young writer and/or has rectangular legs.
