And, in case you needed more persuading, here's a glimpse at what we've got in store for autumn:
The March edition of Meanjin looks at charisma: of religion, of science, of teachers. We also launch Reading in an Age of Change, an exciting new collaboration with Overland on storytelling and digital culture (www.meanland.com.au) with an article by McKenzie Wark on the idea of copygift and why information needs to be freed.
John Potts considers how deeply religious impulses are still mirrored in our secular beliefs and Jeff Sparrow questions where New Atheism will lead us. Phil Brown remembers being taught by one of the greats, the poet Bruce Dawe, Jane Grant explores the cult of the brilliant academic and writer, Sam Goldberg, and in the first of our Rewind series we publish Goldberg’s 1957 Meanjin essay ‘The Poet as Hero: A.D. Hope’s ‘The Wandering Islands’’. Paul Mitchell examines the presence of God in Australian literature⎯from Tim Winton’s Breath to Tsiolkas’s Dead Europe, Helen Barnes-Bulley asks if atheists can truly enjoy religious art and Carol Major looks at the ways in which the church has informed our adoption practices,
In other essays, Lorin Clarke takes the pulse of contemporary Australian theatre and David Astle helps us celebrate Meanjin’s 70th birthday with a cryptic crossword specially constructed for the occasion. Eleanor Whitworth discovers both natural and scientific wonder on a trip to the Arctic, Toni Tapp Coutts recalls living through the wet in the Northern Territory, Maurilia Meehan tells us what it’s like to be a flying school dropout, Stella Glorie describes growing up in a strict Catholic family, Terin Tash Miller remembers meeting the Dalai Lama and Sophie Cunningham speaks to Steven Amsterdam about what it’s like to survive.
We have new fiction by Fiona McGregor, Jennifer Mills, Sue Booker, Philip Canon and Bronwyn Mehan, as well as the final instalment of Caroline Lee’s powerful novel Stripped and a recent graphic story by Bruce Mutard. There is also poetry by Geoff Page, Roberta Lowing, Mark Tredinnick, Anthony Lawrence and Eileen Chong, as well as many talented others.
