'This year marks our tenth volume and in this edition for the anniversary year we have welcomed writers from USA, Canada, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and UK, to contribute to our initial and ongoing aim of offering Meniscus as an international journal. This issue has been edited at the bottom of the world by two New Zealanders, Sandra Arnold and Gail Pittaway, who took on the challenge of working through nearly 600 submissions. Though hard work, it was a joy to see the range and scope of themes and forms. It’s also been encouraging to see several of the writers who have offered work in previous volumes continuing to submit work to our literary journal, through to 2022. Looking back at those earlier issues it is clear that not only has Meniscus grown in volume, with increasing numbers of writers added to later issues, it has also grown in geographical scope and reach. We proudly publish several authors for the first time and encourage those whose efforts couldn’t make it to this volume to keep sending in work and to persevere.' (Publication summary)
