Masthead was established in 1998 as a literary arts magazine by Australian poet Alison Croggon and was produced for four issues as a print journal. After a hiatus of almost two years, it was revived for the "american terror" special issue in September 2001. Now it is published exclusively on the internet for its second incarnation as an biannual e-journal which embraces writings about poetry, poetics, theatre, contemporary music, politics and much else.(Reprinted from the about page on the website)
