Degraves Street haunted by memories of a past lover. Racing monkeys at the end of Sunshine Road. One last, lonely bucks’ night on Brunswick Street.

Melbourne’s streets might not be as charming as Rome’s, as romantic as Paris’s, as edgy as New York’s - but they’re more than capable of telling a good story. In this collection of essays, short fiction and poetry, some of our best emerging and established writers turn their pens to the streets of Melbourne. They explore geographies of love, loss, disappointment and changing culture in a city beloved by many.

If you’ve ever lived in or visited Melbourne, or have a passing interest in our everyday connection to place, this is the book for you.
