Beware, John Whitworth and Co., Quadrant is now being blacklisted by a major journal in Australia:

It's actually poets who are being blacklisted. Those who publish in Quadrant are blacklisted:

Find inspiration where you can. Tin-foil Loopers would make an interesting name for a journal, a poem, a whole school of poetry. Always remember: "Never let the bastards grind you down."

Well said, Curtis. I live your motto.

The cynic in me wonders if this kind of thing happens more often than you think, except without the fanfare. At least here the journal/editor has been forthcoming, made folks aware, maybe saved a few people some money on postage.

Or inspired a great pseudonym.

[Quincy Lehr]

Well, that is needlessly silly and provocative (though those of us on the actual left still probably face more overt blacklisting in general). Why someone would actually wish to appear in a journal that has mainly made the news in recent years for genocide denial is beyond me, though....

(The Raintown has and will no doubt continue to publish authors who have appeared in Quadrant, if needs be said.)
