Creative Writing - Issue Four

  After the successful launch of the fourth edition of 'Wonderful Writing - Imagination is the Best Power' at Karavansara Retreat&Residences we are pleased to announce that the latest magazine is available for digital download from the Store. It has exploded to now contain 36 pages of poems, stories and analytical writing. The magazine was completed in April 2012, during Sue Guiney's second visit to work with the students at Anjali House. As a stimulus piece the students drew inspiration from the Anne Bass' film 'Dancing Across Borders', about a Cambodian dancer, Sokvannara (Sy) Sar's astonishing journey from Cambodia to the New York School of American Ballet (SAB) and beyond. Students also worked in collaboration with students from Oligivie High School, Tasmania exchanging work and ideas via video to create a truly fantastic body of work which encouraged students to explore their own ideas about success and happiness. The magazine contains poems, short stories and discussion and response pieces on the film all wrapped up with some of our teenagers and young adults' stunning photography. In total, 9 students participated in the writing workshops creating the biggest and most accomplished magazine to date, created in the workshops as part of the Creative Writing Program set up by author Sue Guiney. Additionally, Sue Guiney was inerviewed by the host of Kuala Lumpur's BFM 89.9 "The Bigger Picture," Umapagan Ampikaipakan, and his producer, Lee Chwi Lynn. Sue
