AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The world feels chaotic right now (though maybe it's always been like this): a simmering anger and distress bubbling up into everyday interactions and leaving many of us frazzled, despairing, and leaving many of us frazzled, despairing, furious or lost. The writers and artists in this issue of Island are feeling that unsettling fizz and looking for ways to understand and express it. In the search, come of them are finding joy. From the Yes campaign to emerging Palawa designers, from scathing fiction about Tasmanians left behind to a long and thoughtful essay on our relationship with nature, each of these pieces grapples with how we could make something better out of the world we find ourselves in.' (Editorial introduction)
