' Issue thirty-seven of Colloquy: Text, Theory, Critique is the first for 2019, and brings together a wide variety of subjects and themes. In producing it, we have welcomed several new members to the editorial team, and bid farewell to others. We would like to acknowledge outgoing editors-in-chief, Aisling Smith and Zachary Kendal, and to thank them for all their hard work over the past few years. We would also like to welcome Tania Marlowe, Sreejata Paul, and Giulia Mastrantoni to the Colloquy editorial team in their ongoing roles as associate editors.' (Editorial introduction)

'My mother spread out cashews, pistachios, and walnuts in a single layer on a baking tray. She told me it was important not to mound them up, important that they were toasted evenly. She picked through, looking for small broken pieces, especially of walnuts, and removed them so they wouldn’t burn. Small pieces of burnt walnuts could spoil the flavour of the whole baqlaawe because, once they were ground up, the flavour would go throughout the whole sticky dessert. The oven ticked as it heated up and would continue to tick for hours after it had been used as it cooled down again. While the nuts toasted in the oven, she cooked up water, sugar, and a little lemon juice. She held the temperamental ignitor down as the stovetop clicked into life with a whoomp of flame that settled into a more well-behaved, gentle burn on medium. The numbers around the dial were long ago cleaned off by an overly enthusiastic use of Jiff or Handy Andy.' (Introduction)
