CALLOUT: CLASS
Australian Poetry Collaboration
One US commentator when quizzed on the working class of his country said “we prefer to call them people who have yet to achieve their full potential” haha.
The idea for this issue arose from intense discussions held in Canada & India over the last year. There has been much written about identity in recent years. While not criticising that or excluding the interplay of factors at work for this edition, many find it remarkable at a time when wealth inequality is reaching historic heights that we see the issue of class under-examined.
Do you have a poem that looks at this? Either specific portraits or a general overview. Not limited to solely working class. Nor limited to Australian contributors. Prior publication fine so long as it is attributed. No poems about classroom antics or classy dames please.

“...a juxtaposition that is as impressive and evenly balanced as its slightly more
widely noticed sporting equivalent, the Dolgopolov-Tomic tennis match.”
