"Cracker - A Christmas Collection"
Edited by Heather Taylor Johnson, Mel Kinsman, Stefan Laszczuk, Anna Solding

The creative writing courses at Adelaide University have now been in place for six years, and this is the third anthology to emerge from the Masters Degree course. Each year the students, many of them established writers, select a theme around which to write poetry and stories.

These writers have wrapped up the very essence of Christmas with words. Unwrap, and prepare to be surprised, for the essence of Christmas is a mixed bag: tears, joy, tragedy, memories, hope, horror, apathy, love and loneliness. And of course, the odd bit of ho ho ho . . .
