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.
