The emergence of a high-quality, print-based journal is a cause for celebration in these internet-dominated times, so I was delighted to encounter Strix last year, a magazine from Leeds that specialises in poetry and short fiction. Edited by Ian Harker and Andrew Lambeth, it's now reached Issue Three, which also happens to include one of my poems. Again, that's definitely a cause for celebration down here in deepest Extremadura!
You can read more about Strix on their website, and copies of Issue Three will soon be available. I'd love to attend the launch at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds on 19th March, but work commitments mean I'll be at the Prowein trade fair in Düsseldorf on that day.
Bob Hicok has always had a serious side, with some of his poems dealing
with topics such as racism, sexual abuse and puberty, but I don’t think I
am alone ...
Dear Matthew
ReplyDeleteWe used to live near Hyde Park, Leeds. I had five poems published in the latest edition of The Wolfian which is now available from Amazon.
