The 64th issue of the Greek Australian Cultural League (GACL) literary periodical Antipodes will be launched οn Sunday 7 October at the Panarcadian Association ‘O Kolokotronis’ (570 Victoria St, North Melbourne).
The periodical is celebrating its 45th year of continuous circulation and will be commemorated with a special publication.
This issue will pay tribute to Antigone Kefala, an Australian author and poet who has been proposed for several prestigious government literary awards.
Kefala won the 2016 Judith Wright Award for her recent poetry collection, ‘Fragments’ with her themes primarily centring around the people who have lost their homeland due to war or displacement.
As always, Antipodes will publish works submitted by members or non-members such as poems, short stories, studies, essays, book reviews and οther literary works, in Greek and English and the visual arts by creatives residing in Australia and over 18 years of age, in the following categories: poetry, and short story.
The winning entries in each category in each language will be published in GACL’s issue No. 64 of the annual bilingual periodical.
The results of the Literary Competition will be announced at a special function at the launch of the 2018 edition.
