Okay, astute and exacting readers, it is Monday, and this isn’t a book post. So sue me. I went to the Meredith Music Festival over the weekend, and I’m lucky to still have a face, let alone be able to carve up some literary criticism for you right here. Fortunately, the good people at harvest magazine are less dissolute than I, and Issue 4 of the world’s most beautiful literary journal is out. One of my favourite local poets, Maxine Clarke, is in there, writing on black rights and bell jeans; Evie Wyld is in there, talking about her incredible debut novel, After the Fire, a Still Small Voice; Michael Sala, Ainslee Meredith and Jasmina Krupic are all in there. All of these people are winners at life. I’m also in there, cutting a dash about being a reader who writes. And if one issue just isn’t enough, harvest has a cracker of a deal whereby you can purchase every issue of harvest ever produced for $50. So, get to it, and while you’re there, could you get me a copy, because my arms hurt too much from a full weekend of my favoured dance move: the wu-pump.

Ooh looking forward to reading your article! I ordered my issue 4, so i'm hoping it comes in time for my flight up to Brisbane (harvest = plane-time reading fun)

Excellent work so-called Estelle Tang. Did you have a good time at Meredith?

Good one Elena! I can't wait to read the interview with Evie Wyld. She blows me away.
Michael: I'm pretty sure that's my real name! I had a ridiculous time at Meredith. Not sure people I met had a similarly good time around me; I distinctly remember hitting a stranger at some point. Nothing criminal though, so not to worry.
