'Overland 252 brings together the work of many, including writer Vivian Blaxell, Australian-Palestinian writer and educator Micaela Sahhar, and Greek-Australian anarchist poet π. o., to offer up fictional, poetic and scholarly reflections on place, resistance, memory, desire and activism—inherently political themes that have always concerned Overland writers and its readers. You'll also find new poetry from Eileen Chong, Emma Simington, Niko Chłopicki and Jini Maxwell, as well as new short fiction from Andrew Roff, Pierce Wilcox, Dorell Ben, plus loads more.' (Publication summary)

'Mitchell Welch’s debut collection is an inventive tour de force that sets forth, in the words of Dominique Hecq, 'a poetic universe full of provocation, seeings-into and ludic energy'. In two sections, 'Vehicles Of' and 'Vehicles For', Welch sets up a dialectic between two contrary dimensions of existentialism, exploring through deft poetic lines and language play both the irreconcilable alienation of the individual and the emancipatory potential of community.' (Publication summary)
