Byron Writers Festival is deeply concerned by the shuttering of Meanjin, one of Australia's oldest, most revered and influential literary magazines, for 'financial' reasons. (1/4)

While in Byron for @byronwritersfest.bsky.social, I walked into the Book Room Collective and defaced these hardbacks ruinously. If you’re a local, please help me cover up this crime by buying these books.
