Return of the alt-interview

Issue 7 is due out and we are glad to say that the alt-interview is back.

If you haven't come across this form of interview before, it is an anti-interview technique. The interviewees make their choice from a selection of (quite) random questions. The aim is to uncover information about them that a more familiar method would leave untouched. In issue 7 poet Andrew Forster and scrabble champion Andrew Fisher take the challenge.

Let us know if you want to...

Previous alt-interviewees include poet Peter Hughes and art taxidermist David Blyth.

Peter Hughes Selected Poems April 2013

A very tasty retrospective of Peter Hughes' poems "most interesting and unclassifiable" from Shearsman is out this month. Hughes is an English poet and painter who lives literally on the edge in East Anglia and editor of the Oystercatcher Press.

"...a mind in evidence in the poems that can constantly surprise itself in the turns of speech, that can dance in the syllables and still have world and experience in its sights." John Hall
