Our Beautiful Voices is a book of poetry from current and former refugees in Australia's detention centres. The poems will be read by the prize winning poet and actor, Ezra Bix. Produced by Di Cousens.

Our Beautiful Voices is poetry by people incarcerated in immigration detention.

Within the detention industry people are called by numbers, not names. This poetry celebrates individual histories, stories and identity. These poems are about survival, of resistance and reclamation of self.
