Long Paddock for Southerly 70.3: India India
India has a strong culture of Australian literary studies, a very interesting and useful one,
rich in its own opinions, expectations and perspectives. It seemed logical to at some point offer an Australian audience a chance to sample this alternative angle of perception, and here we are, an issue of Southerly with a central focus on Indian/Australian literary relations.
It is a rich, rich field. So rich, in fact, that it has seemed wisest to place aside any concern for representativeness (by whose criteria, anyway?) and to offer instead – that very Australian thing – a show-bag, a sampler, full of enticements to explore further. Includes a special feature on contemporary Indian poetry.
