Notes

  • Epigraph: It took me time fully to grieve … It took me more time to realise that, just as becoming
    a father smashes one’s understanding of the world, losing a parent does the same:
    you cross a shadow line, a boundary others can never or may not ever notice.

    —David Miller, ‘The final goodbye to my father’, Guardian, 23 April 2011

    'March Meanjin features the Nauru Diaries of former Royal Navy doctor Nick Martin. What he found in the Australian detention centre 'was way more traumatic than anything I'd seen in Afghanistan'. You'll also read Paul Daley on Indigenous history, statues and strange commemorations, Omar Sakr and Dennis Altman on the same sex marriage vote and Fiona Wright on Australia in three books. There's new fiction from Laura McPhee-Browne, Peter Polites, John Kinsella and Paul Dalla Rosa and a fine selection of new poetry from the likes of Stephen Edgar, Chris Wallace-Crabbe, Marjorie Main and Judith Beveridge.'
