Editor’s Note to Issue 31 + Extracts
IssuesAfter years of waiting, Notes has managed its first fun issue! From a sparkly baby on the cover to the skid-marks of Eve Hawksworth’s strange but wonderfully compelling ‘Lacquering’, issue 31 is filled with noise and nonsense
Ekphrasis Writing Workshop – January 30th 2016, 2 – 3.30pm
Issues
We’re very excited to announce our very first Notes poetry/prose-poetry workshop, which will be held in the Fitzwilliam Museum, and led by poet Rebecca Watts. The workshop will occur on Saturday, January 30th from 2 – 3.30pm.
Rebecca’s poems have appeared in a range of publications, including PN Review, The North, Magma, Die Gazette, Mslexia, the Journal of Modern Wisdom and, most recently, New Poetries VI (Carcanet, 2015). In 2014 she was selected as one of the Poetry Trust’s Aldeburgh Eight. Her first full-length collection will be published by Carcanet later this year. Please visit her website here.
The workshop is a great opportunity to get tips from a published poet, to explore the Fitzwilliam’s art collections, and to get some writing done – just in time for our Ekphrasis issue at the end of this term.
Places are very limited, so if you want to reserve a spot (and can definitely make it), please email info@notespublication.com. We can’t wait to see you there!
Editor’s Note to Issue 30 + Extracts
IssuesThe final issue of Michaelmas 2015 features notes loosely based around the theme of collision. From the melancholy juxtaposition of hopeful expectation and reality in Ronan Marron’s ‘The Snow Will Not Stick’ to the familial discord evident in the extract from Charlotte Cromie’s novel, ‘Limelight’, many of the pieces in this collection revolve around the interaction of oppositional forces.

The pieces collected within this issue are loosely themed around concepts of transference. From the whirling narrative of Asier Calbet’s ‘Hands off the Handlebars’ to the evocative imagery of Elena Violaris’ ‘Giselle’, writing in Notes 29 captures with precision the heights and lows of change and transition.
