The November issue of ‘Transnational Literature’ – the open access e-journal published by the Flinders Institute for Research in the Humanities – is now available here. There are 11 peer-reviewed articles, more than 30 book reviews, and a very high standard of creative writing on show in this issue.

Poetry Editor Heather Taylor Johnson writes:

In this issue homage is paid to Ludwig Wittgenstein as a woman analyses love to the point of feeling it; Allen Ginsberg’s footsteps in India are retraced in a discovery of Indian influence on the Beat Poets; the Yellow Emperor of China c.2697-2597 BCE resurfaces to apologise to one of his wives – passionate muses abound. Diane Bell pays tribute to the late Ngarrindjeri man Tom Treverrow, whose lifetime work was keeping the stories of the Old People alive and tirelessly fighting for reconciliation – memories of a passionate life. And of course there are book reviews: two, in fact, of reprinted Australian classics, reminding us that passion still lives in the pages of our paperback books.

Enjoy, and may the passion be with you.
