'All of Helen Garner’s work is intensely personal. But diaries and letters are genres particularly charged with intimacy.

During Covid-19 lockdowns, arts practitioners worldwide responded with web-based music sessions, comedy performances and art exhibitions. None of these outputs sound or look like products in conventional industry spaces. There has been a discovery of the home as stage and gallery, the desk as broadcast studio, and creative arts work as a commodity related to personal space. This links us to the idea of creative work at its origin: a home-grown and personal thing given legitimacy.' (Nigel Krauth Editorial introduction) 2020
