‘The Ethical Issue' invokes a thought-provoking reading experience, featuring an essay on the ethical dimension of translation by Jacques Rancourt, poet and director of the Anglo-French Poetry Festival, complemented by a series of French poems and their English translations. An insight into the Darwinian ethics of one of the greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century, Nikos Kazantzakis, is offered by Kazantzakis scholar and translator Peter Bien.
The art feature of this issue comprises a conversation piece between Kevin Rabalais, author of Landscape of Desire, and Matthew Hooper, artist and writer, as they explore the written and painted landscapes within their work. And Melbourne photojournalist Dave Tacon takes us to Sierra Leone, giving us a stunning visual and written account of one of the world's poorest countries.
Also included in this collection: short fiction by Ryan O'Neill, Prue Gibson, Susie Greenhill, Thomas Shapcott, Shannon Burns, Jason Cotter, Vivienne Christie, Michael Crane, and Patrick Holland, as well as a substantial body of new poetry.
‘The Ethical Issue' will make you reflect, wonder, hope, and re-consider.
