Poetic Justice: Contemporary Australian Voices on Equality and Human Rights

Right Now is excited to announce the release of our new book. Titled Poetic Justice: Contemporary Australian Voices on Equality and Human Rights, it is an anthology of the best human rights writing and art from the Right Now online magazine.

Poetic Justice is a collection of essays, fiction, poetry and visual art about human rights issues in Australia. From asylum seekers to Indigenous land rights; from the surveillance state to police racism, this anthology chronicles contemporary Australian debates about social justice.

​

Each of the works is an exercise in compassion as Poetic Justice seeks to recover the humanity too often lost in our discussions of human rights.

​

Featuring work by Malcolm Fraser, Julian Burnside, Anne Manne, Tony Birch, Pat Grant and a foreword by Christos Tsiolkas. The anthology is designed by Jenny Grigg.
