Nocturnal Submissions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nocturnal Submissions was an Australian literary periodical, based in Melbourne, which appeared sporadically and ran from 1991[1] to 1999.[2] It was founded by David Lumsden and later edited by the novelist M. J. Hyland. Seamus Heaney — in the blurb on the back of issue 6 — said "Nocturnal Submissions is a handsome magazine, solid and worthwhile."
Authors whose work appeared in the periodical included Billy Collins, Peter Carey, Steve Kilbey, August Kleinzahler, Chris Wallace-Crabbe, John F. Deane[3] and Alan Wearne. It was one of the first magazines to publish work by Peter Bakowski.[1]
The material for the first issue was gathered in late 1989 but the issue was not published until 'Autumn' 1991[4] (which in Australia means the months March to May). The aim stated in the 'Editorial Note' was to present writing that would 'work both in performance and on the page'.
