journal 14 2 posted on february 11 2026 by magdalenaball i m delighted to have my poem gravitational waves published in the latest australian poetry journal volume 2 number 2 guest edited by bonny cassidy alison j barton these amazing editors have chosen such a powerful selection of work that i will be exploring this journal a long time in the foreward alison and bonny say at times subject matter entered the poems obliquely at times directly but always with urgency it felt less like poets choosing their subjects and more like the times we inhabit pressing their imprint on the work i ve only just begun reading through this hefty collection but i ve already found this to be true these are striking poems which create as the editors have put it an evolving conversation this one is not yet for sale individually subscribers get their copies first but when it is you can get copies here https australianpoetrypublications org or subscribe to the journal here https www australianpoetry
