Fall 2005

Japanese poet Misuzu Kantaro wrote:

A bird,
a bell,
myself,
all different, all good

All different, all good. Even in translation the words have a resonance as well as a relevance to a new ad campaign from Nike, the latest company to use models valuing function rather than form. Let us know what you think of it, you’ll find their website address in Talk to Us.

Here’s what else you’ll find in issue # 9:

Links: Always new and interesting. Keep us up to date with what you find as you browse. We check all links before we put them up, by the way.

Fiction: We were delighted to have a play submitted for this issue, so we broadened the department previously called Prose so we could present a range of literary forms.

Gallery: While photographing one of the pieces we noticed that it had a completely different look and feel depending on whether we had taken the photo outside or in. Finding it difficult to choose between them, we decided (with the artist’s permission) to print both...a bit in the style of Monet

Reviews: Alice Walker said, "If a book doesn’t make us better, what on earth is it for?" There’s a bumper crop of books (and a magazine) reviewed in this issue, and we hope we’re all the better for it.

Literary non- fiction: An Australian in Prague is a work in progress

Our Poetry section is delicious as usual.
