In this issue, we’re thrilled to present the shortlisted and winning essays from this year’s Island Nonfiction Prize. It’s particularly exciting to us as a Tasmania-based organisation that our winner, Indigo Bailey, is a young Tasmanian writer, selected from a very high-quality national field of entries. Another new Tasmanian writer, Elsie Auckland, takes to the page in our ‘Island Conversations’ project, responding to a poem by Gwen Harwood.

This issue also includes a double-length feature on TWIST, a new exhibition responding to the literary work, life and influences of Charles Dickens, and another comic/graphic narrative as part of a year-long project curated by Joshua Santospirito, in which Luke and Kelly Jackson and Thơm Nguyen explore the pain of estrangement.

We hope you enjoy the selection of short stories in this issue, which cleverly analyse and critique Australia’s social structures – or, as in Hei Gou’s ‘The End of the Dream’, brilliantly build an entirely different country in response to another icon of the literary canon (Tolkien). As usual, the issue is enriched by 10 fabulous poems that relish the tricks within language that turn speech into song, and the opportunities forms offer for play and connection. Enjoy.
