Now in its second reincarnation, Phoenix 2007 boasts a fantastic selection of student and alumni writing. This year we're proud to include children's fiction and scripts along with oodles of our poetry and prose. Inside, you will find tales of innocence, woe, love, the strange and the unknown; Phoenix 2007 is the product of a literary community in its prime, engaging with forgotten histories and the uncertainties of everyday experience. To top it off, we've got articles on the writing process from the top tier of the Australian literary community. We've included not one, but two multi-award winning children's authors! Libby Hathorn (Thunderwith, Grandma's Shoes) and Ursula Dubosarsky (Abyssinia, The Red Shoe) give us colourful and sagacious insight into the process, the audience and the industry of writing for children and young adults. In addition, Nick Riemer, at once a linguist and poet, speaks on identifying as a writer and the paradoxes of poetry. In every part evocative, intimate and accomplished, Phoenix has again proven the strength and originality of University of Sydney writers. Guest Editors: Libby Hathorn, Richard Langridge

This book is a testament of how the Lord has helped me and my family throughout our lives, providing for and helping us with the choices we make in our daily lives. The meaning of this book is very special. It outlines the details of how God has taken care of us. The colored, underlined, and capitalized words point out just how much God does care about us. I pray that whoever reads this book, finds that God is there for them, even though they may not think he is. I also pray that this will lead everyone that chooses to read this to a better relationship with God, as it has with me in writing it.

Windows and Words is a collection of seventeen essays that confirms and celebrates the artistry of Canadian Children's Literature. There are essays that survey a wealth of English language fiction, from the internationally acclaimed work of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the aboriginal adolescent novel, to the increasingly multi-cultural character of children's books. Others examine book illustration, visual literacy, and the creative partnership seen in the picture book and its art design. With contributions by two Governor General's Award winning authors, Janet Lunn and Tim Wynne-Jones, and a final commentary by Elizabeth Waterson, the heart of this collection offers a unique perspective on the artistry of writing for children and claims a rightful place for Canadian children's literature as literature.
