June teaser

May 25

The winter edition of Meanjin has been moseying round our office for some time now and it’s impatient to get out. Subscribers will receive it in next few days and it will be in bookstores on June 1.

Meanwhile here’s a taste:

In the latest edition of Meanjin, Rachel Buchanan relives the excitement of discovering avant-garde art through the energetic, experimental work of Len Lye, Toni Jordan finds hope and conflict in Kenya in the aftermath of Obama’s election, Katherine Wilson tells the story behind her recent hoaxing of Keith Windshuttle and Sian Prior contemplates shyness. Collette Vella looks at the ever-changing relationships between editors, agents and their authors, Lynne Spender asks whether intellectual property can or should be owned, Craig McGregor remembers living through the beast that was Harlem in the sixties and Mark Dapin, still in recovery from interviewing Gordan Ramsay a year ago, writes on the perils of the celebrity feature.

In the third of our CAL/Meanjin essays, Marcus Westbury gives a critical overview of Australia’s leading funding bodies and in interview Michael Williams talks to Christos Tsiolkas about delivering a punch. Also features fiction by Bruce Pascoe, Kristel Thornell, Paul Mitchell, Chris Womersley and Mark O’Flynn, as well as poetry by Chris Wallace-Crabbe, Rose Lucas, Mark Mordue and many talented others.
