What’s Inside

After a number of themed issues, Landfall opens up in a general issue, presenting new voices in poetry and fiction alongside more established writers. Prose writing includes Ted Jenner on Malawi, Stephen Turner on cultural plagiarism and the New Zealand dream of home, Bronwyn Lloyd on doppelgänger suicide, and Ouyang Yu on ‘the axis of exiles’.

There are in-depth reviews of new books from a wide range of publishers, by writers from a variety of perspectives. Eight paintings by cover artist Emma Smith make up the first portfolio, while Gabriel White’s photographs of South Korea form the second.
