In every life, there are seasons. Fires burn and rains fall, but after the blazes and storms, flowers bloom.

A symbol of resilience and unity, the Australian wattle regenerates after the devastation of fire and deluge. Often propagated in turmoil, it blossoms bright and sturdy. For these reasons, it emblazons the cover of the 35th Writers’ Anthology: Bloom.

Celebrating a diverse group of voices, Bloom welcomes a foreword by Zoë Norton Lodge, an acclaimed author, performer and UTS alumna.

Informed by the turbulence and uncertainty of the previous year, Bloom celebrates stories from all walks of life. Spanning hardship and deterioration, humour and introspection, it promises a rekindling of the creative spirit.

This anthology calls for us to reconnect, to see all is not lost. Our creativity and ingenuity continue to bloom as we endure the repercussions of the previous year. Now in its 35th year, the UTS Writers’ Anthology continues to champion new and exciting voices from within the UTS community. Full of imagination and zeal, Bloom brings forth a sense of hope; the hope we can grow from our experiences, the hope we can simply be.
