Editorial

Part of the pleasure in editing this issue for Kunapipi was trawling for copy both within and outside Britain, and finding everywhere among the writers I approached a warm and generous response. The resulting rich yield includes, along with material from two recently published volumes of poetry, a good range of new work and 'work in progress', and along with writers already known to readers of Kunapipi, several newcomers to the journal - all in all, signs of the diversity and significance of the literatures from Commonwealth countries in the latter half of this century.
