Overland 256 is the third issue in a suite of four special editions dedicated to commemorating 70 years of Overland. Inside its pages you'll find: Daniel Browning on the politics of memory, Antonia Pont on impatience, Sarah Wehbe on Palestinian fury and joy, and a special editorial by our departing poetry editor Toby Fitch. There's also new short fiction from Rowan MacDonald, Bethany Lalor and Amalia Stone, and new poetry from Josie Suzanne, Tim Loveday, Lulu Houdini and more.
What we need now is not more weapons or false neutrality. We need a reckoning. And we need imagination: a vision of coexistence built on equality, not exclusion. The idea that one people must disappear for another to thrive is a lie that has cost too many lives already.
