****************************************************************************

AUSTRALIAN WRITING ONLINE is a small press distribution service which we
hope will help Australian magazines, journals and publishers to reach a
much wider audience through the internet. As a first step we will be
posting information and subscription details for a number of magazines and
publishers to a number of discussion groups and lists. We hope to build up
a large emailing list which includes as many libraries as possible. If you
know of a list or discussion group which you think might be worthwhile
posting to or if you would like more information about AWOL please email
AWOL at M.Roberts@unsw.EDU.AU...

Please note that M.Roberts@unsw.edu.au is a temporary address until we set
up our own address sometime next year

SOUTHERLY

Southerly is Australia's oldest literary magazine. For over fifty years it
has held a central place in the making of Australian literature. The work
of Australia's finest writers has appeared in its pages, and been discussed
in its critical essays and commentaries.

Now Southerly has a renewed appeal, with a clear new design by Toni
Hope-Caten, and covers which feature work by Australian artists from the
collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. The presentation of
the magazine's contents has also changed. We publish a wide range of
poetry, fiction and criticism from writers all over Australia and New
Zealand. But we also seek out or commission writing which has a special
appeal, because of innovative or challenging qualities, or because it helps
to throw new light on current literary concerns.

The September 1994 issue of Southerly features excerpts from Fay Zwicky's
unpublished journal and essays on her poetry by Ivor Indyk and Elsa
Linguanti; a selection of work by the poets associated with Collective
Effort, including a long poem from P0 's epic '24 Hours'; new poems by
Peter Skrzynecki and an essay on his poetry by Michael Griffith; Carl
Harrison-Ford on literary hoaxes; poetry by the New Zealand poet Lauris
Edmonds; and reviews of contemporary Australian writing by Judith
Beveridge, Evelyn Juers, Noel Rowe and Nicolette Stasko.

The December issue of Southerly includes new pieces by Archie Weller,
Antigone Kefala and Dorothy Porter; an important paper by David Carter on
the reverse cultural cringe in Australian literature; essays by Jill Roe on
Miles Franklin, Simon Petch on Janet Frame and Tony Winner on David Malouf;
and fiction and poetry by Fiona Place, Grant Caldwell, Geoff Page, Richard
Allen, Jill Jones and many more.
