AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'There are those who caution against judging a book by its cover. However, were you to pluck Jane Frank’s Wide River from the bookstore shelf, feeling compelled to dive into the marvellous, multi-hued blue river painting on the cover, you would find your choice vindicated by the poetry within. Frank is a poet of endings. Her last lines are replete with meaning, some forming a clever volta, others punching home the point of a poem with the power of a Shakespearean heroic couplet.'  (Introduction)

    'The new year will see some changes. After five years of involvement, Andrew Leggett will be leaving his position as fiction and non-fiction editor to pursue more writing. Andrew has made a tremendous contribution and we wish him all the best. The March issue will be co-edited by Andrew and our incoming editor, Gershon Maller, after which Gershon will take the reins. We are very happy to have Gershon onboard. His research theses explored the works of J.L. Borges and Wallace Stevens, respectively.' (Rosanna Licari : Publication summary)
