Publishing in January 2022, EAST SIDE VOICES is a first-of-its-kind essay anthology that showcases the brightest East and Southeast Asian voices in Britain today.
Edited by Helena Lee (Acting Deputy Editor at Harper's Bazaar and East Side Voices founder) EAST SIDE VOICES invites us to explore a dazzling spectrum of experience from the East and Southeast Asian diaspora living in Britain today. Showcasing original essays and poetry from celebrities, prize-winning literary stars and exciting new writers, EAST SIDE VOICES takes us many places: from the frontlines of the NHS in the midst of the Covid pandemic, to the set of a Harry Potter film, from a bustling London restaurant to a spirit festival in Myanmar. In the process we navigate the legacies of family history, racial identity, assimilation and difference.
Join us for a special preview event to celebrate the first ever #ESEAHeritageMonth: HELENA LEE will be in conversation with ROMALYN ANTE, award-winning poet (Antiemetic for Homesickness) and frontline NHS nurse.
