115 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Meanjin is where Australia’s literary culture sets out its fiercest ambitions. Quarterly in print and daily online, each year Meanjin publishes new work by hundreds of Australian writers in all genres and forms. Our committed audiences read and collect Meanjin for its unique role in articulating the Australian cultural moment.
For over 80 years, Meanjin has fostered a rich and rigorous national conversation by remaining true to its founding principles: ‘to talk poetry’, ‘to work for a healthy climate of opinion and literary activity’, and ‘to make clear the connection between art and politics.’ Whether in poetry, fiction, essay, memoir or experimentation, Meanjin writers seek audiences who are active contributors to the public spaces we all make together: readers who enjoy critical discussion and—to continue in Founding Editor Clem Christesen’s words—who ask Meanjin writers ‘to reveal and clarify our life by showing it to us though a vision different from ours and deeper.’
