The June issue of Meanjin is one for taking stock and taking risks. Liam Pieper argues that we've well and truly lost the war on drugs, Suzy Freeman-Greene takes a look at our obsession with the weather, Fatima Measham welcomes us to Werribee and shows us a whole new side of a much-maligned suburb and Zora Sanders talks to Booker-winner Eleanor Catton about fate, history and the writing in the stars.
