AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The idea for the ‘blue ecologies’ theme that runs through much of this issue of Island was conceived on the ancestral lands of the Wodi Wodi people of the Dharawal Nation. It began with five writers sitting by North Wollongong Beach on a sunny spring morning, discussing ways in which we might turn what can often feel like a painfully solo, even solipsistic, activity – writing – into something more collaborative, more communal, more ecologically attuned. ' (Luke Johnson, Introduction)
