Born from one of Australia's most enduring and fiercely independent literary journals, Going Down Swinging: Longbox is a landmark anthology that pushes the boundaries of the written and visual word. This special Longbox edition assembles an eclectic roster of Australian voices — Andrew Denton, Pat Grant, Bridget Lutherborrow, Libbie Chellew, Luke Johnson, and Katherine Kruimink — to present a collection that refuses easy categorisation, blending comics, prose, and experimental narrative into a singular artistic statement. Going Down Swinging has long been a crucible for emerging and established Australian talent, championing work that is bold, strange, and uncompromising in its vision. The Longbox format itself signals ambition — a collector's object as much as a reading experience — and the contributors here deliver work that rewards close attention, returning again and again with new resonance. For those who believe Australian literature still has unexplored frontiers, this collection is essential evidence.
