Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry is where Meanjin began, and Autumn 2024 is Meanjin's first with new Poetry Editor Jeanine Leane — be sure to include this issue in your collection! There's Tom Doig on 'Ten years on from Hazelwood: last decade's second-worst disaster'. Marcus Westbury reconfiguring capitalism in 'The agency and the equity'. A venturous interview with Peter Polites. Elise Dowden's joyful 'Australia in Three Books' on national treasure O.. André Dao's superb 'State of the (Writing) Nation' oration. A Clare Wright memoir piece that packs a powerful punch. And plenty more fiction, memoir, essays, reviews and experiments. All framed by this season's Meanjin Paper by Arrernte Elder Theresa Penangke Alice: 'Ilkakelheme akngakelheme — resisting assimilation'. In heavy times, we read with heavy hearts, and reflect with open minds. Embrace Australia's finest writers.
