“This is something of a first: voices from the other side of the racial imaginary coming to life with surprising insight, authenticity and innovation.” Brian Castro
“For me and so many others, Liminal has beautifully and deftly showcased players in the Australian arts scene that are so often overlooked, but arguably constitute its beating heart. What a goddamn joy they’re now doing the same for fiction.” Benjamin Law
“Harmonious but discordant, language stretched and challenged. You are moved through spaces of tender familiarity and dissonances. Each writer brings their own rhythm, contained with the beautiful subtleties we look for in fiction. Woven through is a fabric of complex characters and yielding interpretations of the short story form. With each story being a container for separate heartbreaks and epiphanies.” Jamie Marina Lau
"Time and time again the beginning point to access minority writing is the deficit. The reader asks the minority writer of their authentic experiences, the reader asks how does this work appeal to their hegemonic gaze? What excites me about Collisions - this offering from Liminal, is that the writers are centring themselves. Both emerging and more established writers are playing with form. And it excites me to read genre work that still speaks to the anxieties and pain of the subject position - whether that be first nations, diaspora, queer or gender diverse. The content in this publication represents a step forward for minority writing in the Australian literary landscape." Peter Polites
