Welcome to Tamba Issue 62

We were delighted with the very large number of submissions we received for this issue and are happy to bring you work from some writers who we haven’t featured before. It made selecting just enough for our 48 pages even more difficult than usual and there was some excellent work submitted that we didn’t have room for. We were also pleased to have submissions form a year 7 student, Sanuda Diyagama. His thoughtful ‘Lent Poem’ is on page 30.

Tamba magazine special 60th issue

Welcome to Tamba Bumper Issue 60

We thought that 60 editions was a milestone well worth celebrating. In his editorial in the first issue of ‘Tamba’, Hugh Oakes said that the committee felt like a young bird about to take flight and wondered if they would crash or soar. Well Hugh, at issue 60 it feels like your fledgling is fully grown and we are soaring on the thermals of our contributors’ creativity.

Welcome to Tamba Issue 58

Since the first issue in 1992 Tamba, like many other literary journals, has always struggled to survive financially. This year we have obtained some Community Arts Grant funding from Greater Shepparton City Council. We are very grateful for their support. Most good creative writing is like an iceberg. What the writer puts on the page is just the tip. The reader is left free to imagine the rest of the story, the characters’ motivations, past histories, relationships etc, for themselves. Thus everyone’s picture for any given piece is unique. This is what readers love and why, in this age of visual media, we still turn to our books and poetry for a more stimulating escapism.
