About Coppertales

'Coppertales' is a journal of 180 pages edited by Brian Musgrove and Chris Lee and currently published in the form of an annual anthology by the Faculty of Arts at the University of Southern Queensland and the University of Southern Queensland Press. In 1995 it has been supported by the Queensland Government through the Minister for the Arts.

'Coppertales' publishes poetry, short fiction, articles, art work, reviews and interviews which feature the rural experience. Its aim is to provide a space for the representation and promotion of Queensland and Australian rural culture. Too often rural Australia is misrepresented as a simple and outdated cliche by interests confined to the metropolitan center. This journal establishes a forum for the diversity of interests and opinion which are characteristic of this country's regional cultures.

'Coppertales' is not exclusively committed to regional items. It recognises that rural people are just as interested in the ideas and values of metropolitan and international cultures as they in those of their own localities. 'Coppertales' will publish metropolitan work of quality which may be of interest to a rural audience.

The inaugural issue of the journal features poetry from Bruce Dawe, Coral Hull, Megan Redfern, and Mark Mahemoff, short fiction from Ness Shannon, Ian Crowther and H. Hayes, a travel essay from Pat Buckridge, and an interview with Thomas Keneally.

Contributors receive a complimentary copy of the journal and all contributions are refereed through an editorial advisory board. Subscriptions are Aust$12 (Aust$20 for institutions) overseas subscriptions $Aus20 per annum and are available from the Department of Humanities, Faculty of Arts, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba 4350. Cheque, Money Order, Bankcard, Visacard and Mastercard are all accepted.
