Abstract
This chapter analyses the production and composition of several of the fourW anthologies of new writing as an index of rural and regional identity and their relationship to national and international contexts of writing. fourW’s ‘glocal’ significance was argued for, in contexts of Australian literary production, and some of the ways contributors’ works are positioned and networked with respect to Australian and international writing were discussed. The roles of Charles Sturt University and Australian literary scholarship in shaping fourW’s production and reputation have been examined, as has the notion of rurality/regionality as imagined geographies. Some consideration was given to fourW’s intersection with digital technologies, and the manner in which global literary activity can increasingly be seen as a ‘network’.
Keywords: Rural, regional, Australia, writing, literature.
