Meridian
Welcome to Meridian, the Asia Pacific Writers and Translators Drunken Boat Anthology of New Writing a rousing collection of 37 voices, both established and emerging, from over 14 countries. This rich conversation epitomises a version of a meridian, a ghost map of connections, ranging from Hong Kong to the Gold Coast, Tokyo to Abu Dhabi, Singapore to Kabul, pulsing with story and song.
Edited by Tim Tomlinson, Sally Breen & Ravi Shankar
"What the Meridian anthology aspires to is nothing less than making an area of the globe a unity by establishing it another republic of letters—a huge, various, enormously vibrant area bound together by English as the lingua franca; an area exploding with young energy, where the need for self-knowledge that literature can supply is exigent and extreme. The book they’ve made is new and fresh and thrilling, suffused with the sense of a beginning but also with the sense of the perennial and the permanent."

Asia Pacific of the Mind
APWT and Joao Roque Literary Journal are proud to release Asia Pacific of the Mind – a special edition of the journal featuring stories, creative non-fiction and poetry from APWT members examining the theme. Historically the Asia Pacific region has been decimated by supposedly scientific, principally colonial concerns. From the exploits of Portuguese admiral Afonoso de Albuquerque who conquered Goa in India and Malacca in Malaysia in the early 16th century to Captain James Cook's famous voyage across the Asia Pacific over 250 years ago, the spread of European and British colonialism has always carried along with it deeply painful and racist governing ideologies. Hence the collision between Anglophone letters and Asian ways of imagining is a space we feel is contested, disruptive, rich and colourful. In the new millennium, APWT and Joao Roque seek to construct a more productive Asia-Pacific of the mind, one that speaks to these points of connection and rupture, partakes of stories and songs, and remakes colonialist history by creating new nodes of intersection that might remap shared experience.
