1 Digital Together : Creative Writing, Collaborative Residencies and Cultural Exchange in a COVID-Constrained World Sreedhevi Iyer , Alvin Pang , David Carlin , 2022 single work criticism
— Appears in: Text : Journal of the Australian Association of Writing Programs , vol. 26 no. 1 2022; 'Since 2014, the Writers Immersion and Cultural Exchange (WrICE) program has sought to invite genuine trans-cultural encounters and dialogue among peer creative writers from
different nations, cultural backgrounds, interests and life experiences across Asia and
Australia. These have been enacted through in-person collaborative residencies, designed and staged based on a set of five compositional principles. In 2020, these principles were challenged, tested and elaborated in new ways through a new WrICE residency conducted entirely online: a move made necessary by the COVID-19 pandemic and its conditions of physical separation. Our findings from this digital residency experience offer insights into future directions for approaching transnational collaboration and dialogue among writers, artists, scholars, activists and others in a more constrained world, during and after the pandemic.' (Publication abstract)

1 1 y separately published work icon The Tiniest House of Time Sreedhevi Iyer , Cheltenham : Wild Dingo Press , 2020 16934341 2020 single work novel

'The Tiniest House of Time covers the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim in 1998 and the consequent riots, and also a lost history of an unknown exodus of Indians from Burma to India when Rangoon was bombed by the Japanese in 1941. Told from the point of view of two young women of their time, it touches on what we let go, and how, when we face death.'

1 2 y separately published work icon Jungle Without Water and Other Stories Sreedhevi Iyer , United Kingdom (UK) : Jetstone Publishers , 2017 14733285 2017 selected work short story

'This debut short story collection from an Australian author delves into the shifting boundaries and human displacement of our era. Of Indian-Malaysian background, Sreedhevi Iyer is adept at locating tensions within her own diaspora while also casting a forensic eye on Australian social and cultural attitudes. A teacher of creative writing at RMIT and the University of Melbourne, Iyer has a gift for radiant prose, but also an astonishing range of voices, from simple riffs on backyard suburbia to the magic realism of a narrative told by a “divine” coconut. Her sharp wit and sense of irony keep stories of refugees, inter-racial tension and human prejudice profoundly in our sights.'
