emerge 21

This year's emerge 21 anthology is like no other.

At a time when the whole world had to redefine their sense of connection, writers near and far sought new ways to connect and create. Haunted and hopeful, vulnerable and resilient, this fresh cadre of voices found community in the power of the written word the scaffolding that held their imagination aloft as the world crumbled around them. Some expressed their grief, some hoped for the future, and many healed through the power of writing. With the turn of every page, scars knit together families, umbrellas come to life, unexpected horses arrive at a doorstep ... and sometimes adults are simply looking for an imaginary friend. Experience the creativity that blooms after destruction.

"I'm struck by the risks these writers have taken: to imagine, to tell it like it is, to conjure images and sounds, to share pain, and to sneak in moments of joy, and even sassiness!" Renee Sarojini Saklikar, author of children of air india and co-author of Listening to the Bees
