You may know Elöise Mignon from her performances on screens and on stages, or perhaps as an audiobook narrator for the likes of Sally Rippin’s Billie B Brown series and Elizabeth Tan’s Rubik. You might be familiar with her literary and academic works, such as her recent Meanjin article. We know her by all of these roles, and one other – we are excited to reveal Elöise is an Antithesis 2019 contributor! This year’s journal will contain Elöise’s creative non-fiction piece, ‘Devotion to a Symptom’. We present Siana Einfeld’s interview with Elöise ahead of the journal’s launch on 15 October.

We are thrilled to be publishing two of Madeleine Dale’s poems in this year’s Antithesis Journal. Both of Madeleine’s poems have Biblical connotations which respond to this year’s theme of ‘Devotion’. Siana Einfeld interviews Madeleine to find more about the poet’s inspiration for her work and life.

We are thrilled to count Tyson Yunkaporta among our Antithesis Journal contributors for 2019! Antithesis editor Siana Einfeld has interviewed Tyson ahead of the Journal’s release, finding all about his many writing projects, from Bones in the Sky, his short fictional work appearing in this year’s Journal, to his first published book, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World (released on 3 September), and his current experience of writing an Aboriginal Viking saga.

If you’re interested in learning more about Tyson’s work, he will be joined in conversation with Bruce Pascoe and Marie Matteson at the Melbourne Writers Festival on 6 September.
