'The July issue of ABR features journalist Nicole Hasham’s searing Calibre essay on the Pilbara’s pockmarked mining landscape. Historian Joan Beaumont travels to Ambon, asking whether the ever-growing number of Australian war pilgrims reflects a turn towards ‘postmemory’. Timothy J. Lynch considers America’s unending conflict with itself, Ben Wellings writes about another fractured union in the United Kingdom, and Jessica Lake examines the use of defamation in sexual assault cases. There is new poetry from John Kinsella, Julie Manning, and Andrew Sant, and we review Seamus Heaney’s letters, new poetry from Judith Bishop, fiction by Colm Tóibín, Francesca de Tores, Dylin Hardcastle, Percival Everett, theatre, music, television and more.'
