cephalopress

In this, the first ever Cephalopress Anthology, we explore a theme close to our hearts; that of Borders & Belonging. From the physical, to the imagined, and everything in between, we move through circles both large and small - families, communities, nations - delving into the very essence of who we are, and what it means to be human, and to belong, in today’s increasingly fractured and turbulent society.

This anthology features 28 carefully selected pieces of short fiction and poetry from writers all around the globe. Each one them responds to the theme in their own unique way, but there is one single thread that unmistakably runs through this collection from start to finish: that we are here, that we need to come together, and that borders will not stop us from connecting, creating, and nurturing these spaces we inhabit for those who will come after, looking for a place in which they too can belong.
