We're sad to see Meanjin shut its pages. For both writers + readers, a healthy literary ecosystem + cultural landscape requires many more, not less, literary journals. www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/04/m...

Since our very first issue Meanjin and Overland have been comrades, mates, rivals, and drinking buddies. The UMP board’s decision is a shockingly myopic act of cultural vandalism which will grievously harm the Australian literary community.

“So much of what we live is complicated or conflicted, and based in feeling, and not in words. Language allows us to get very close to saying what we mean, but to me it always falls just short.“ Jessica Au, in conversation with @leahjing.bsky.social www.liminalmag.com/interviews/j...
