Put it on shelves, in hands, with coffee rings and folded corners. \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"770\" data-start=\"620\"\u003eThis is a small run of \u003cem data-end=\"653\" data-start=\"643\"\u003eOverland\u003c\/em\u003e journals spanning nearly a decade — 2013, 2014, and three issues from 2022 — sold together, deliberately, as a unit. This money goes directly to supporting the continuation of \u003cem\u003eOverland's\u003c\/em\u003e existence in the Australian literary scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1056\" data-start=\"772\"\u003eLiterary journals are one of the quiet casualties of the last decade. They’re too slow for the internet, too fragile for retail, and too “in-between” to be preserved properly. When they vanish they’re just pulped, archived digitally, or forgotten in back rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1286\" data-start=\"1058\"\u003eThese issues still do what journals are meant to do, and are experiencing a dearth of in contemporary publishing. The arguments aren’t settled, the voices aren’t canonised yet and you can feel the shifts happening mid-sentence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1525\" data-start=\"1288\"\u003eI’m selling this as a stack rather than individually because that’s how they make sense — as a record of continuity rather than a single “special” issue. Twenty dollars is more than you'd pay at Savers, sure, but it's going towards their continuation, not dissolution (like the sister journal, Meanjiin). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1720\" data-start=\"1699\"\u003ePriced at $3 each, only sold for $15 as full set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bower studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43407873015891,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/0268\/2707\/files\/88e86922-e122-4260-a354-fd4694de2587.jpg?v=1768009162","url":"https:\/\/bowerbooks.com\/products\/overland-literary-journal-stack","provider":"bower books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
