Published on 14 March, 2002
Controversial global issues have influenced the creative writing featured in the, soon to be released, literary magazine Idiom 23.
Idiom 23 (Vol 14) will be launched by Central Queensland University Vice- Chancellor Professor Glenice Hancock at 5.30pm on Friday March 22 at the Rockhampton Art Gallery.
Refugees, the September 11 attack on New York, and other current issues are featured throughout the magazine's collection of short stories and poems.
The magazine has over 100 pages of writings, illustrations and photography from people all over the world, including works from past and present Central Queensland University students.
The launch will feature poetry readings from several of the magazine's contributors.
Interested members of the community and local writers are encouraged to attend the event and present a poem also.
Sponsors of the magazine are: CQU, The Morning Bulletin, Bassett Consulting Engineers, Commonwealth Bank and the CQU Bookshop.
Idiom 23 can be purchased from the CQU Bookshop and CQU Press (Outback Bookshop).
