'Lie back. Yes, I know most women prefer to bear down on their knees, or stand on the bricks, or at the chair. But trust me, it's best if you stay on your back. Otherwise, there won't be any room for your son to slide out. He's going to be big. They always are.'  (Introduction)

    'In this issue our contributors rage against capitalism and colonialism. In Notes on Damp, Anastasia Dale takes us through a horrifyingly familiar tale of renting which is accompanied by an immersive soundscape. In Irish Ghazal, Scout Manuel uses the ghazal form to try and make sense of the cyclical violence of English imperialism.

    '‘Strike’ also looks at bodies as sites of struggle and liberation. Mel Bandara’s comic Colours of Pain and Christine Le’s artwork Pang Pang Pang! take a bold look at chronic pain. In Swimming on the Solstice, Theodore Harkin explores swimming as a practice of bodily connectedness as a trans person. 

    'Dive into fiction about giving birth to demons and being followed by swarms of ants, and poems about lullabies and grieving in the backseat of your family car. And don’t miss out on Henry Tran’s winning story from our partnership with the Dymocks Beyond Words short story competition in 2023. ' (Publication summary)
