Our Spring 2026 issue gathers poems of memory, grief, winter and wonder – poems that pause, observe and remember.
Within these pages, Wendy Westley travels through time, James Croal Jackson finds light in January, Victoria Mendes searches for sanctuary among the stars, and Andrew Barnes reflects on loss in the quietly powerful Smoke. Alongside them, Kamil Zaszkowski, Peter Donnelly, Tom Phillips, Yucheng Tao, John Grey and Annie Forbes offer poems attentive to chance, place, transformation and the enduring mysteries of being alive.
We’re honoured to share their work with you.
