ISLAND MAGAZINE LAUNCHING TONIGHT

Looking forward to a new future.

The recently threatened Island Magazine will be launching their 127th edition tonight, February 1 at 5.30 at The Lark Distillery Hobart at a free event that is open to the public.

The evening will reveal the latest edition of the magazine featuring beautiful photos from Brigita Ozolins’ installation ‘The Reading Room,’ new writing from Danielle Wood, Heather Rose and James Dryburgh amongst other new work.

Lark Distillery’s famous whiskey will be on offer to those attending the launch and the new editor, Dale Campisi will be in conversation with the similarily newly appointed Managing Editor, Rachel Edwards.

Dale is a published writer of food and travel books and a publisher at Arcade Publications. He has previously been a lecturer in writing and editing at the tertiary level and has undertaken postgraduate study exploring cultural change in the 1960s and 1970s as seen in the pages of Meanjin literary journal. He is on the board of the Deakin University Master of Arts and the Emerging Writers’ Festival Program Advisory Committee.

The staff of the magazine are excited about the future prospects with the magazine which was taken to new heights (the first ever edition to sell out, MONA 125) by former editor Sarah Kanowski. Sarah has returned to Brisbane to move into the role of presenter of ABC Radio National’s new Weekend Arts program.
