Featured artwork: “What We Got” by JJ Cromer
“I don’t know where to look or how to feel or whether to call someone for help. She is pitched forward, words spouting, blending with the water’s roar. Over and over and over – I HATE YOU! Under my breath, I join her in measured triplets – I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! – each word with its own beat, its own moment.”
—Jamie Hennick, “Lobster Day”
