A new opportunity for ATSI writers! Aboriginal poets Ali Cobby Eckermann and Lionel Fogarty have been offered an edition of Southerly, Austraila's oldest literary journal. The journal will consist of 240 pages of essays, lyrics, poems, short stories and reviews. The proposed title is Boomerang.

ALL ATSI writers, (young, new, emerging, unpublished and established) are encouraged to submit writings for consideration by the editors. Ali and Lionel aim to package a strong edition of writings, to showcase the contemporary truth and strength within ATSI cultures, and the immense values that Indigenous people add to the Australian landscape, despite the ‘boomerang’ effect the media portrays today.
