Join us for the launch of Cutting Edge, the next edition of Jacaranda Journal.
ABOUT THE EDITION
‘The Cutting Edge slices a clean line into the future and carves out space for what comes next. The Cutting Edge demands something new, something spectacular, something unforeseen. The Cutting Edge warns of the violence of being severed from the past by the relentless momentum of progress. It becomes the technological, the avant-garde, the surreal. It might save a life. It might take one. Would you see it coming?’
Edition 11.2 of Jacaranda Journal includes works of poetry, creative non-fiction, and short fiction from emerging and established writers from across Australia who responded to theme of Cutting Edge in their own unique ways. These exciting new works explore subjects as far ranging as conjoined twins, dystopian cityscapes, technological overreach, warped temporality, human resilience, and climate catastrophe.
