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. Let’s spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon talking poetry! Join Editor Esther Anatolitis in conversation with Jeanine and poet Paul Magee, who will start us off by reading his poem ‘Dreaming in Bourke’.
Meanjin 83.1 Autumn 2024 also features 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; Elese Dowden's joyful 'Australia in Three Books' on national treasure π.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'.
