'The call for contributions for Landscapes Volume 10, Issue 1, went out towards the latter half of 2019, with the title “Landscapes: ‘The Idea of North’”. A serendipitous, thematic title, this was inspired by Glenn Gould’s mesmeric 1967 documentary of Northern Canada, The Idea of North, as well as the 1946 memoir of life in the Nordic countries In the North, by Lady Constance Malleson; it was a link to one of the first publications from Landscapes Volume 1, Andrew Taylor’s “Wild 1 – The North”, and the field-based study experience of a group of exchange students at the International Centre for Landscape and Language (ECU), heading north from Perth, Western Australia; it was finally a reflection of the Nordic location of the editor of this volume, in Sweden. While the publications of this issue taken as a body of work cannot purport to represent any sustained sense of an engagement with the idea of North, they nevertheless embody the sense of the eclecticism implicit in the original call for contributions.'

'In ‘they rise’ Jazz Money, a Wiradjuri poet and filmmaker addresses the future of the stolen lands we call Australia as a proud blak woman (Cordite, February 2021). Her voice rises above inferiority, trauma or shame. The poem is defiant, a wry celebration of the same bodies that colonialism makes ambivalent and abject by enabling its ‘superior’, cis-gendered whiteness:
turns out the future is technicolour blak black brown turns out we’re all welcome here queer brothers and sisters and non-binary siblings if you been here since the first sunrise or if you come here now just now come here heart open come here hurt from those wars and those sea levels rising
How do we turn out poetry that shows we are all welcome here? How do we collectively transpose settler privilege and oppressive hierarchies and why does it matter? What is wrong with a received system of naming, making categories and borders, if our hallowed aesthetics are tone deaf and mute to the sound of blak, brown and hybrid bodies breaking, dying, suffering? Listen to the poems here: we are suffering not merely because our tears matter less, or are less visible in the capitalist settler colony, but also because there are families that have been wartorn, assimilated and broken; there are forests that have been denuded, oceans pillaged and polluted, sacred sites mined, vestiges appropriated and rebranded, and all of this touches us multifariously, yet still, our protest is being silenced.'
