Trumpet: Back Issue

Trumpet Issue 9

Trumpet 9, with a theme of 'Fear and Release', is guest-edited by Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, who tells us in her editorial: “My intention is that the voices in this issue will be diverse and gently anarchic, brimming with an energy that embraces the darkness while baring its teeth”.  

Trumpet 9 contains reflections on poetry and parenthood, on poetry and activism, on games and narrative, plus book reviews, a comic strip, wonderful poems, and stunning lockdown photographs from Ruth Medjber. Chandrika's editorial concludes: “This issue may have been born out of a state of fear, but now, there is only the delight and trepidation of release. It’s yours now. I hope you enjoy it.”
