One of Story Factory's latest publications, I Talk, It Echoes is a sort of poetic travel guide for aliens from another planet. After crash-landing near Sydney, they'll surely have many questions about the world they now find themselves in. Luckily, this book is just as effective for unfamiliar humans. Hear about the train stations of NSW, secret tunnels, identity, and definitions.

From the publisher: “This collection of poetry is at once deeply personal and fiercely communal—a guidebook that welcomes, instructs, and illuminates. Written by young people from Blacktown and Mount Druitt, it overflows with their deep knowledge of this area: their unexpected wisdom and hard-won advice; their memories of laughter and pressure; their stories of family ties and cultural memory. This book grew out of It’s Our Turn, a very special project run by Story Factory and The Hive which is about recognising the voices of young people as essential to shaping the future of the places in which they live. Over the course of a year, more than 250 young people generously reflected on and shared their expert knowledge about their communities and their worlds.”
