Issue 4

Editorial

Welcome to Issue 4 of The Saltbush Review. We are thrilled to be able to bring you another edition of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and to continue in our project of connecting the South Australian literary community of readers and writers with international writers and audiences. We are constantly grateful to Arts SA for funding our third and fourth issues, and enabling us to pay both our writers and our editors for their work.

Our theme for Issue 4 is ‘Fracture’. In preparing this issue, we experienced a terrible fracture in our literary community here in Adelaide – the loss of beloved local writer Alison Flett. Alison, originally from Scotland, had lived in Adelaide since 2010, and was heavily involved in the local writing scene. Alison was an arts reviewer for InDaily, Poetry Editor at Transnational Literature and publisher, with Jill Jones, at Little Windows Press. Alison was actively involved with various writing groups and poetry projects. She was wildly talented, delightful company, and an amazing performer. She will be missed by so many, not only for her huge talent but also for her kindness and support. We keenly feel the loss of this superb writer, wonderful human and passionate advocate for the arts, but our loss is nothing compared to that of her closest friends and family, and we dedicate this issue to her memory, offering our condolences to all those reeling from this irrevocable loss.
