Big bow back to the editor in chief Damien B Donnelly @eatthestorms.com and sub-editor @rhonagreene.bsky.social for accepting my poem for publication within the forthcoming issue V of The Storms Journal. It somehow feels even more special, if that's possible, the second time round. Top of the world!

I saved this issue for a rainy day to read cover-to-cover and was not disappointed. I particularly loved Jill Hopper’s riposte to Samuel Pepys, and Anna Shelton’s dressing down of anatomical eponyms. But as ever, the whole issue is filled with brilliant poems, and thoughtful essays and reviews. <3
We're absolutely delighted to announce Magma 93 'Liberation' is now published and available to buy on our website.
