'In April 2020, amidst the global pandemic of Covid-19, the Australasian Association of Writing Programs (AAWP), the peak academic body representing the discipline of Creative Writing in Australasia, sent a call for contributions to a Special Issue of TEXT—Journal of Writing and Writing Courses. The theme of the Special Issue is: The in/completeness of human experience. The title seemed apt, although (disclaimer) I’m biased on this one—I think anything worthwhile I’ve ever written is about the incompleteness of human experience. Or perhaps I feel that human experience is necessarily incomplete. Maybe there is little difference and I will try not to prevaricate, too much, although I often do. ‘Get there faster,’ my eldest daughter says.' (Julia Prendergast, Introduction)
