Editors Letter

EDITOR’S LETTER

An interlude of respite. A playful abstraction of wandering and wondering. An escape from the realities that we are presented with.

This is the soul of Edition 50.

As you thumb leisurely through these pages (or frantically click ‘next’ online), you will be greeted by the minds of those who are grappling with the discourse of time, whilst others touch on the dimensions of human embrace and the nostalgia of shadowed memories. It is ultimately an existentialist exchange that proves to be entertaining and enriching as a reader and editor.

Through honouring and celebrating the diverse talent of UniSA students for the 50th anniversary of VERSE, this instalment is lyrical, tender and sentimental. With the distinctive inclusion of poetry prose, oversea voyages, flirty cocktails, and a zesty student survival guide, these are the ideal ingredients for a quintessential, homebody night-in.

Please sit back, pour yourself a hot cuppa, and wholly savour the first edition of 2023.

Until next edition,

Tamara Montina
