Westerly Issue 69.2

Featuring exciting new work from writers and artists across WA, Australia and the world, Westerly 69.2 showcases a range of contemporary poetry, fiction, nonfiction and, for the first time, comics, with a piece from WA comics artist Nina Dakin. Contributors to 69.2 include Carrie Chappell, Nandi Chinna, Rashida Murphy, Julie Watts, John Kinsella, Pidj Flavell, James Salvius Cheng, Sharon Mesmer, Liam Byrne, Miriam Wei Wei Lo, Hannah McCann and many others. Westerly is also proud to feature the first part of a longer work by Tjalaminu Mia, ‘Milebaar wer-moora kadidjiny won-gin wadjella-warr’, that shares stories of resistance and resilience (with parts two and three appearing in the next print issues of Westerly to come).
