Going Down Swinging is one of Australia’s longest-running and most respected literary journals: publishing digital as well as print and audio anthologies since 1979.
The Going Down Swinging team works and plays on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, whose sovereignty has never been ceded. Our writers and artists work on stolen lands across all of so-called Australia. We acknowledge and pay our deepest respects to all Elders past, present and emerging.
This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
