The Suburban Review #18—REGIONAL VOICES

The Suburban Review #18: REGIONAL VOICES shows us that Regional Australia is not just scenes on the beach drenched in wistful brassy light, nor the bleak world of Wake in Fright. It is a place that lives and breathes and, importantly, it is not just one place.
 
In this brilliant and expansive issue, Joshua Santospirito illustrates Dan Hogan’s dealings with pests and Stuart Barnes deconstructs a city’s nickname. Nick Whittock carves lyricism into his surrounds. Follow Susie Anderson through memories populated by birds, ants, and other creatures. Then confront the banalities of bureaucracy with Lachlan Brown. Tony Thorne reckons with pain and urban isolation while Claire Collie learns to live with uncertainty. Mourn for your loved ones along with Faith Eadie and take comfort in your roots with Brenton E McKenna. This is an extraordinary issue, guest edited by Holly Isemonger, and not one to be missed.

We recommend the following EPUB readers for this TSR publication: Google Books, Apple iBooks, and Lithium (Adobe Digital Editions and Mozilla are not recommended). When reading poetry on your phone, we suggest tilting your phone screen sideways (so you are reading the publication on a landscape orientation) and using a smaller font. This allows for optimum representation of line breaks and spacing and is closest to the poet’s original layout.
 
This TSR issue has been designed for comfortable screen reader use. We recommend using NVDA along with Google Books, or using the in-built “Read Out Loud” function in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please feel free to send us your feedback if you use this feature as we would love to hear from you and are always trying to improve our journal’s accessibility.
