Earlier this year I wrote a piece on taking inspiration from a familiar landscape for their Spring issue (still available here). I loved working on it, and have been a fan of the magazine since its first issue back in Autumn of last year. It's a beautifully produced magazine. Although the title of my book is The Other City, I grew up in the countryside and take enormous inspiration from the natural world now that I'm back in it after a few years of living in cities.
The ethos of the magazine is one I can fully get behind: Wholehearted slow living. Embracing the seasons. The sharing of stories and traditions. A sensitivity to the environment and the ways in which it might inspire us. It's rare among magazines for being entirely advert free which says a lot. Its focus is not just poetry but on simple, sincere creative non-fic from around the UK that aims to capture the magic of the turning year.
As poetry editor I aim to source diverse work with an emphasis on up-and-coming poets. If this is you, I would love you see some work!
