Southerly

The current issue of the literary journal Southerly (Volume 60, Number 3) is titled Travelling the Word and, according to Noel Rowe's editorial, revisits questions about what makes a piece of writing "Australian", and the relationship between the "reciprocated movement of word to place". This is investigated as a dialogue between the essays, fiction and poetry in the journal itself.

History: For sixty years Southerly has held a central place in the making of Australian literature. The work of Australia's finest writers have appeared in its pages, and been discussed in its critical essays and commentaries. The journal publishes a wide range of poetry, fiction and criticism from writers all over Australia and from New Zealand. Southerly also seeks out or commissions writing which has a special appeal, because of its innovative or challenging qualities, or because it helps to throw new light on current literary concerns.
