The Words
And Women Compendium is a brave and vibrant collection of short prose which represents
the best of four years of Words and Women’s annual competition showcase
anthologies, as well as the work of our
2018 winners, Kerry Hood and Margaret Meyer.
Edited by Lynne Bryan and Belona Greenwood, this eclectic collection of bold and compelling texts will take you on an
odyssey of women’s experiences. Slip between these pages to a courtyard in
Kabul. L inger in a river while danger gathers on the bank or wonder what to say
to Kurt Cobain’s son. Combat a bear in the Canadian wastes. Savour the memory
of childhood, encounter group hysteria, rage against injustice and the
destruction of innocence. Witness the coming of age, survive thwarted passion,
and marvel at the secret life of cornflakes. There is all of life described here
in this richly written, complex and ambitious book.
