    'Southerly has turned 80! Founded in 1939, Southerly has been published continuously for fully four score years. This is a cause for great celebration; we salute the many, many writers whose poetry, fiction, essays and reviews Southerly has published, often providing new writers with their first foray into publication. In their submissions of work for this issue, many writers recall the significance of these first works, some dating from 50 and 60 years ago.

     

    'Alongside literary stalwarts, and in keeping with Southerly‘s committed practice, new writers reflect the matrices of contemporary Australia’s peoples and literatures. Juxtapositions of this kind are at the heart of Southerly‘s project and span the spectrum of writing across creative and critical modes.

     

    'Southerly also salutes the generations of readers who have engaged with this enterprise, the many who continue to access Southerly‘s formidable archive from 1939, and our current readership.' (Editorial)

Works about this Work

[Review] Indigenous Transnationalism : Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria Briar Wood , 2020 single work review
— Appears in: Journal of Postcolonial Writing , vol. 56 no. 5 2020; (p. 728-729)
— Review of Lynda Ng (ed.), Indigenous Transnationalism: Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria Frances Devlin-Glass , 2019 single work review

'Lynda Ng, editor of Indigenous Transnationalim, describes Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria as a “worldly” novel. Anyone who has read Wright’s novel will be aware of its multi-layered, globally connected language and imagery, its genre hybridity and complex characterization, and its faithful representation of its local environment. In particular, the novel’s account of environmental catastrophe – in Carpentaria these are floods, not bushfires – gains relevance and prescience on every rereading, as recent apocalyptic-scale events in one continent become a warning for others.'
