2013 UTS Writers' Anthology: The Evening Lands
UTS
The Evening Lands’ foreword is written by Anna Funder, author of award-winning novels, Stasiland and All That I Am. Anna is a UTS Alumni, who wrote much of All That I Am in the UTS tower as part of her Doctor of Creative Arts degree.
The beautiful cover image comes from Sydney photographer Lucien Alperstein. Lucien is a photographer, writer and journalist who has a unique eye for capturing the world around him with timeless grace.
Each of our writers brings a unique voice to The Evening Lands, creating a diverse collection of Sydney’s freshest talent. Our editors are a volunteer team of UTS students. They have been working since November to choose, edit, order and compile the best of over 300 submissions into an Anthology they are very proud of.
In 2013, for the first time, we are launching the Anthology Online: a collection of additional editors’ picks published free online. The supplement aims to give a voice to more writers and to provide an opportunity for their work to be enjoyed and shared digitally.

The UTS Writers’ Anthology sits on an interesting precipice, one no less interesting because it sits there with such grace and style.
The success of the anthology – and of Seeds and Skeletons – is not only in its polished appearance and experienced veneer, it also reminds us that new writing is exciting and deserves readers. As Graeme Simsion says, “There are rewards and surprises for the reader throughout the UTS Anthology. The writers’ craft will only strengthen with time, but here is how they chose to use it first.”
‘The UTS Anthology, which started in 1982, has been an integral aspect of our literary landscape, providing highly gifted and mostly young writers - Nam Le is one often mentioned - from one of Australia's longest standing writing schools with a place to publish.’
Literary journals provide quirky proof of print's durability
‘the writing, often frank, is marked by tenderness and generosity of spirit’
