The annual Greek Australian Literary Journal, ANTIPODES

The annual Greek Australian Literary Journal, ANTIPODES is one of the most aesthetically pleasing periodicals as you can find anywhere in the world. It is not only a delight to the eye with its fabulous covers and art, but it also does not let you down with its literary content which, of course, is its first priority. Poetry, short stories, essays, translations, book reviews, and more, in both Greek and English grace its pages. The editorial team led by the indefatigable Cathy Alexopoulos (OAM) has managed to tread that fine line of encouraging young and emerging writers whilst at the same time holding strong to its tradition of publishing some of the nation’s finest writers. In recent years this has included notable international authors. This award winning magazine the child of the Greek-Australian Cultural League was first published in 1974. It is the “longest published, bi-lingual periodical circulating in Australia.” It has been rightly described as an “important archival and reference depository.” I have personally over the course of a number of years been very pleased to have seen a selection of my own work appear in its volumes.
