Here in Australia, we recently endured a long and devastating bushfire season that burnt through 18.6 million hectares of land, killing 34 people (with further deaths due to the effects of smoke inhalation) and an estimated 1.3 billion animals, some of which were endangered species now driven to extinction. At the tail-end of this loss, the coronavirus began to spread globally. As I write this editorial, Australia joins many other countries enforcing strict social distancing measures and lockdowns. If you are reading this, you and/or your friends and colleagues in the arts will be suffering the effects of cancelled shows, events, launches, some of which provide vital income. We are compiling this issue as we await some better news for 2020 and beyond, and yet it is heartening to see communities rallying on screens for 'relocated' events and readings. Indeed, a highlight of scrolling through my own Facebook feed is seeing friends sharing their postal bounty of newly purchased books. Let's continue, through these tough months, to support one another's practice in this way.' (Jessica L. Wilkinson, Editorial introduction)

    'Best of Australian Poems is a new annual anthology collecting previously published and unpublished poems to create a poetic snapshot of the year that was. Capturing the richness and diversity of Australian poetry, across a timeframe of 1 July 2020 - 30 June 2021, the series will explore how poetic responses to the contemporary moment develop with each passing year.

    'The book opens with an introduction by its 2021 editors, award-winning poets Ellen van Neerven and Toby Fitch. They discuss their approach to curating the 'aural events' of this inaugural anthology, which features 100 poems across a considered, also provocative at times, range of poetic voices, approaches and themes.

    'The Best of Australian Poems (BoAP) series is published by Australia's national poetry organisation, Australian Poetry, and will feature two different guest editors each year.' (Publication summary)
