"like animals that got caught in the sneaky traps of this city and are always wailing wailing to be let out..." 

From the dark back room of a North Perth bar, on a stage lit by fairy lights salvaged from long-forgotten decoration boxes, Cottonmouth has been spreading its tentacles from deep in the Western Australian suburbs to far-flung corners of the continent for the past two years. Cottonmouth: An Anthology of New Australian Writing is the record of that time, and a celebration of the strangeness, humour and beauty that emerged on our stages and in our pages. It shows the bared teeth of more than thirty of the country's most exciting (and mostly not rabid) new voices in fiction, poetry and performance.
