Indeed, MUP's own recent publication 'Essays that Changed Australia: Meanjin 1940 to Today' charts how, for decades, Meanjin has shaped the national cultural agenda, in addition to providing a vital platform for writers producing new creative work and criticism. (3/4)

The meaning and value of culture cannot be captured in market terms, and the cultural loss of Meanjin will far exceed what can be measured on a balance sheet. (2/4)

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)

A photo of the man doing the finger horns gesture, while holding up a copy of the book of mortal gestures, a pale hardback with blue hands on the cover
While in Byron for @byronwritersfest.bsky.social, I walked into the Book Room Collective and defaced these hardbacks ruinously.
If youβre a local, please help me cover up this crime by buying these books.

If you're in the area and can drop in to Byron Writers Festival next week, I'm on a couple of sessions, including one on the Friday at 2pm where I'll be talking to the author of this exquisite book about climate change and the fire that consumed an Canadian oil town in 2016.
