Our fourteenth issue, containing a selection of poems and short stories that put oddity and curiosity at their heart. Led by some of the finest storytellers and poets, and accompanied by a selection of beautiful illustrations, we’ll travel to the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean; to the workshop of a fraudulent creator of abnormalities; and to the rowing boats of rosy-blooded explorers. We’ll happen across nighttime gardeners and dusty bookshop owners, discover a giant machine capable of attaining the answers to all of life’s questions, watch as dodos are reassembled, and find ourselves caught in a loop where generation after generation lives out a very similar life.
Words by Claire Booker, Georgia Oman, Danielle Carey, Katherine Venn, Alys Hobbs, Adam Battestilli, Nancy Carol Moody, Audra Kerr Brown, Lillian Sciberras, Ben Norris, Stephen Hargadon, Sharon Lask Munson, Finn Jackson, Dan Coxon, Rob Stuart, Sophie F Baker, Jane Wright, Rosie Garland, Christine Burns and J.S.Watts.
