AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Identity – who are you? Who or what do you identify with? What does that even mean? In a world that likes to paint us as black or white we’re often searching for an opportunity to fit in.
'This anthology features 30 of Australia’s best writers under 30 exploring the theme identity – searching for unique perspectives on what identity really means in the 21st century. Is it possible to be unique if we’re expected to categorise ourselves?
'Compiled from winners of the Ultimo Prize 2021, this collection represents Australia’s next generation of literary talent. Their work is forward-thinking and provocative, exciting and surprising.' (Publication summary)

— Review of Everything, All At Once : Fiction and Poetry from 30 of Australia's Best Writers under 30 2021 anthology short story poetry'Everything, all at Once presents fiction and poetry from the ‘thirty writers under thirty’ who won the inaugural Ultimo prize in 2021. This prize asked entrants to explore the theme of ‘identity’—a pertinent choice, considering how central and contested particular identities (and the notion of identity itself) have become in cultural and political conversations. This theme is also apt, of course, for a collection that offers young people a stepping-stone in their journey to ‘come of age’ both as individuals and as professional writers.' (Introduction)
