'For this issue of the Journal, my last as editor, I turn some focus on Tasmanian poetry. This follows the commissioning of an essay by Chris Ringrose on an outstanding Tasmanian publisher. I've foregrounded poems received from Tasmanian poets, and I gained permission by Tasmanian artist Julia Castiglioni Bradshaw for use of an image from one of her paintings for our cover. I could have included more Tasmanian poets, but a good three-quarters of the poetry content of the Journal has its origins elsewhere.' (Foreword : Introduction)
