Glass Magazine and Scratch That have teamed up to bring you this homage to the writing community of QUT. Featuring some of our very best, this collection of musings, poetry and creative fiction showcases the work Glass and ScratchThat have published in 2020, read by the authors themselves. Special thanks to Genevieve of Vermillion Records who assisted with recording and preparing the tracks for publication.
