'Edition #41 has been one of contradictions. It’s been drinks in the park and dimly-lit faces on screens. It’s been loud and quiet, sickeningly quick and tediously slow. It’s been lonely and together, close and very far away.' (Editorial introduction)

Two punky poets from Melbourne, they were in debt and broken-boned. Still, they spent eighteen months putting #1 together, knowing the gravity of bold writing that prods at norms and tests how we think.' (Magenta Sheridan and Carli Renata, Editorial introduction)

short story
'Pigeonholed is as much a tribute to genre writing as it is a hook of defiance. Because everyone knows what it means to be pigeonholed. As members of society, we're intimately familiar with the feeling of being boxed in. Right now I'm squeezed in the 'gestating woman' category. It fits me uncomfortably, though my body takes to it keenly enough.' (Editorial introduction)

'Since 1979 we've published short stuff: stories and essays, one-page drawings and two-minute poems. But what about all the longer work, miles past the three thousand words or couple of illustrations that find homes elsewhere?
So we arrived at Longbox. Six extended works by eleven artists, assembled by one designer and a handful of editors, funded by hundreds of online supporters to make up Going Down Swinging's thirty-sixth anthology...' (Publication summary)

Typewritten, stapled at the spine, and published on the few dollars they could scrape together, it was a gloriously bold gesture, one that gladly defied conventional publishing wisdom. A bushy-bearded Ned Kelly raised two boxing gloves on the front cover. What else could it be called but Going Down Swinging?' (Editorial introduction)

'Like a giant Meccano set, we're building a city, from pieces sent to us by writers and artists around the world. Between these pieces we're building roads, bridges, and slightly frightening underground through-tunnels. When the city is built and we climb onto a hill to view it from the outside, then we see - either through amorphic resonance or through our own subconscious filtering, or both - that what seemed like a chaos of ideas when we began is now a logical, freestanding structure. GD S never imposes themes on our writers, but we find without fail, our writers impose themes on us.' (Lisa Greenaway, Editorial introduction)
