'At the age of four, my mother told me that all people judge a person, first by their appearance-the outer and most vulnerable part of oneself-followed by their family, their achievements, and only then by their demeanour. She made it a priority to perfect my habits, body and etiquette before I turned eight, but had severely underestimated her ability to remould my external design, like the remorphing of misshapen clay on a potter's wheel.'

    '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)
