At the Widest extremes of certain kind of argument these priorities can be placed into a false dichotomy, and made to seem mutually antagonistic, but during our first year's tenure as editors we've had the pleasure of working with brilliant writers informed by a wealth of diverging experiences. This issue proudly continues that commitment with a panoply of incisive essays of widely varying styles and subjects, the results of 2020's Judith Wright and Neilma Sidney prizes, and a selection of fiction and poetry bringing emerging voices.' (Evelyn Araluen and Jonathan Dunk: Editorial introduction) 2021 pg. 22-24
