Edition Eight: Saint
Introduction
No mistakin’, this issue’s a long’un – I’ll keep the introduction brief so that you can spend the maximum amount of time enjoying all the poems! We’ve just had so many good submissions this time that it was impossible to narrow it down to the usual short sharp selection, so we went all out with a big summer blockbuster which, we think, rivals Harry Potter. The theme this issue is SAINT, and while we have plenty of angelic on-theme poems, we also have some completely irrelevant stuff that is just as good. And maybe it was a mistake to mention the rejected theme of ‘Naked Jungle Slide’ last issue, but then again maybe it wasn’t… have a look at Daniel Payne’s amazing poem and you’ll see what I mean.
All of this means that we’re now accepting submissions for our Autumn issue! The theme for that one is… MASQUE. We look forward to seeing what you’ve got.
