issue contents

With writing and ideas from Rose Lucas, Eliza Henry-Jones, Dennis Haskell, Carol Lefevre and John Kinsella, Westerly 66.2 is imbued with the destabilising energies of a changing moment, the collective work marked by contradiction, juxtaposition and antithesis. Westerly 66.2 features work from Annabel Smith, the second of our two Mid-Career Fellows in this inaugural year of the Fellowship. It also features new work from our Writers’ Development Program, pieces which are confirming and confronting in equal measure.
