Dearest reader,
With Storm Goretti bringing heavy snow and wind to the UK this week, one might be inclined to call our editor prescient for choosing such an apt cover for our December / January issue.
If your plans have indeed been cancelled due to the weather, we recommend spending this weekend reading our excellent issue featuring Caleb Klaces’s moving essay on memory, absence and dementia, Jack Barron’s review of the poems and letters of Seamus Heaney and fiction by the winners of the TLM Short Story Prize 2025.
Renesha Dhanraj’s ‘Black Cake’, which was awarded first place, was inspired by ‘the seldom-written-about race riots in Guyana and what happens when womanhood is overlaid on that kind of social violence’. Ben Pester, author of The Expansion Project and one of the judges, summed up the story as such: ‘A voice emerges gradually which by the end peals like a bell – even as it understates the entire horror of what we’ve seen. The final scene is something I will think about over and over again.’
For those who don’t yet have a copy, this is your chance to get one at a discounted price.
Buy the latest issue for only £6.95. Offer ends January 23rd.

The relationship between art and literature runs throughout the issue from Nasim Luczaj’s poem ‘Time Management’, an ekphrastic poem in conversation with Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights to David McAllister’s review of The Complete C Comics by Joe Brainard, illustrated by some of the verbal and pictorial experiments of the New York School poets.
You can find all this and more in our December / January issue. Get your copy for £6.95 here.
Happy reading,
Sruti
