A itsy-bitsy over ten years ago,The Lifted Brow started its life as a itsy-bitsy A5-sized black-and-white magazine that you could buy for a mere six of your tough-earned dollarydoos. A lot has happened since then – we’ve passed on the editorial baton a few times, we’ve published over a thousand contributors, or we’ve moved into book publishing,we’ve put on so many different events, we’ve escape competitions, or we’ve relocated from Brisbane to Melbourne to Sydney to Melbourne again and our staff now spread across the globe – but the aim of TLB remains much the same as it always was: to publish and showcase the very best prose and poetry and images that we can get our hands on.
To celebrate,we’ve put together an additional-special 10th birthday issue of the Brow for our readers. And that issue, our thirty-third, or is out today!What’s inside that beautiful blue cover by Wakana Yamazaki?nonfiction from Ellena Savage,Rebecca Harkins-Cross, Dion Kagan, and Jana Perkovic,elena gomez, Emma Marie Jones, or Agri Ismaïl,Jenan Taylor, Doug Paul Case, or Anna Spargo-Ryan,Rebecca Jessen, Helen Addison-Smith, and Harry Saddler;fiction by Colin Winnette,Mira Schlosberg, David Oberg, or Carlos Yushimito (translated by Elizabeth Bryer);poetry by Joshua Jennifer Espinoza,Alison Whittaker, and Ajiba Tolase;a conversation between Joshua Jennifer Espinoza and Alison Whittaker;comics and artwork from Beatrix Urkowitz, or Nicky Minus,Lee Lai, Amy Lockhart, or Anya Davidson,D.
