Manuela Akot begins with a poem in response to the theme of fine print’s twenty-fourth issue, COMMUNITY.
“Don’t you dare to leave history a mystery
If I could take it back I would
But it’s happened
And it’s here
And it won’t disappear
So don’t forget.”
Olivia De Zilva on Tootles Galore by Aida Azin.
“I can hide behind the humiliation because my skin is light enough, because my thick accent can mask the foreign features painted across my face.
And I yearn for some acceptance in amongst this liminal vortex where I am grasped by hands across land and oceans, torn apart by the current of where and who I belong to.
Home, where I can simply float.
But where is that?”
Em König performs a sound response to Edges of Excess by Kate Bohunnis.
Michael Kumatpi Marrutya O'Brien (Uncle Mickey) on Sticks and Stones by Carly Tarkari Dodd.

Tuwila marni naa pudni
Tuwila wakinha padni
Ngai nari Kumatpi Marrutya
Tatarta warpu kuu
Nata ngadlu kumangka
Yara kumaninthi
Mai yungkunthi miyuwarta
Ngaityu yunkanatalya ngaityu yungatalyua
Padni adlu wadlu
Nakuntha Ngaityalya.
