Overland No: 257

Overland 257—an entirely archival edition—is the last issue in a suite of four special editions dedicated to commemorating 70 years of Overland. In this issue we revisit Sarah Attfield on working-class poetry, Warrigal Anderson's autobiographic tale 'Mum and Me', Stephen Murray-Smith on nuclear warfare, RH Morrison on voices of protest during the Vietnam War, Frank Hardy on the death of a unionist, and more.

Overland – Australia’s oldest radical literary magazine – has been showcasing brilliant and progressive fiction, poetry, nonfiction and art since 1954. The magazine has published some of Australia’s most iconic writers, and continues to give space to underrepresented voices and brand-new literary talent every single day.
