'In this issue, we’re thrilled to present the shortlisted and winning essays from this year’s Island Nonfiction Prize. It’s particularly exciting to us as a Tasmania-based organisation that our winner, Indigo Bailey, is a young Tasmanian writer, selected from a very high-quality national field of entries. Another new Tasmanian writer, Elsie Auckland, takes to the page in our ‘Island Conversations’ project, responding to a poem by Gwen Harwood. '
