'Many things play on the mind of the new editor at an old magazine. Top priority: don’t let the thing perish on your watch.
'And here we are with a new edition of Meanjin, the last of its 81st year, and the last of my editorship. The good news is that there will be another edition next March, this one prepared by the magazine’s new—twelfth—editor, Esther Anatolitis.' (Jonathan Green, Editorial introduction)
