Description
Lanes is a remembrance of my teenage hood where I spent a lot of time walking through the lanes of Carlton in the early 1970s. I wrote the first draft of this piece in 1999 in a workshop with Arnold Zable that explored our relationships to cities. I was so pleased when it was later published in Meanjin (Vol 60, Issue 1, 2001). – Helena Spyrou
Helena Spyrou is of Cypriot and Greek heritage. She studies Writing and Editing at RMIT.
