'"Stream" answered remarkably well a particular need - which will always be present in Australia - the need for good translations of current European writing. It printed translations done by Australians of stories essays and poems contributed to European periodicals by such leading overseas writers artists and musicians as Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes Fernand Leger Arthur Honegger Valentin Katayev Mayakovski Frederic Lefevre Carmelo Puglionisi and "Azorin" José Martinez Ruiz.
