Overland 252 brings together the work of many, including writer Vivian Blaxell, Australian-Palestinian writer and educator Micaela Sahhar, and Greek-Australian anarchist poet π. o., to offer up fictional, poetic and scholarly reflections on place, resistance, memory, desire and activism—inherently political themes that have always concerned Overland writers and its readers. You'll also find new poetry from Eileen Chong, Emma Simington, Niko Chłopicki and Jini Maxwell, as well as new short fiction from Andrew Roff, Pierce Wilcox, Dorell Ben, plus loads more.
My brother lives near you, in the caravan park by the Barwon River. He’s been there since he came back to Geelong from Queensland, devastated because the single mum he’d followed up there had taken to drinking even more than she had in Geelong, and had also taken to rooting blokes she met at the pub and asking my unlicensed brother to pick her up from their houses.
