AAALS is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Elizabeth Webby, former Professor of Australian Literature University of Sydney. She was a hugely generous and influential figure in the field of Australian literature, and she'll be missed. Condolences. positivelyremarkable.weebly.com/positively-rem…

Noongar writer Alf Taylor passed away on July 29, 2023. Alf was a great friend to AAALS. He was the featured creative writer at the 2012 AAALS conference in Toronto. It is with great sadness that we farewell Alf Taylor, a kind man and talented writer. writingwa.org/news/farewell-…

Anyone interested in old copies of Antipodes and Australian Literary Studies? AAALS member Faye Christenberry has issues of both that she’d love to re-home: all Antipodes except for 1990 issues; for ALS, most issues from 1.3 through 2015. You pay for shipping. DM us for details.

I have a new poem in Antipodes: A Global Journal of Australian/New Zealand Literature | Vol 36. ‘A robot discovers an overgrown garden, year 2121’ is a poem I wrote after Jane Grealy’s Maria’s Garden, Scheme B (2021); pastel, conte & charcoal on paper; MuseumofBris Collection.

Thank you to poetry editor Nathanael OʻReilly and the team at AntipodesJournal. And to my Ekphrastic Writing Club at MuseumofBris. You can read Antipodes at: digitalcommons.wayne.edu/antipodes/vol3…
