TSR is experiencing the impact in #41 AFTERMATH.
Cover artist Simone Darcy presents splatters of ambiguity in Blood & Bone, while Alexander Poljansek ponders protective instincts in an adrenaline-filled, humorous comic, Crash. On the fiction front, Amanda Jayne Stewart guides us through nostalgia in the wake of grief in Hang-Glider, Carol Mbugua explores the haunting contrast of loss and gain in The Shape of Her Leaving, and Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn’s lyrical fog lingers in Retrograde. A poetry suite by Jaala Hallett examines the duality of love and heartache on foreign soil. Matt Hetherington’s The Thin Drum shows its claws, Myfanwy Williams analyses strength in community in Short Talk on Afterbirth, and Simone King wanders the tides of uncertainty in Shore. In non-fiction, Declan Fry examines the multiplicity of identity in Ready for My Close-Up: Writing as Method Acting. Bella Fenton evokes sentimental longing in this issue’s illustrations.
