I am honoured to be a contributor to this inaugural issue and on reading it I realise I am in very esteemed company. In fact I can’t stop reading it as each poem evokes so many positive emotions. A great blend of different writing styles, all uniquely beautiful. Reviews, writing tips and so much more. Am I being biased? Purchase it, read it and make up your own mind!

Paula Watts, Chatter & Verse

Having my poem “Kintsukuroi” published in this issue was truly thrilling. A beautiful poetry journal and well worth the read.

Sandra Hurst, Delusions of Literacy

A wonderful selection of poetry well worth checking out. I loved “Smile” by Paula Watts’ and also “Pudge” by Jenn Ashton
