Lots of notable contributions in Dream Catcher 36. It almost feels unfair to mention specific pieces. From Ben Benison, the powerful opening soliloquy of his verse play, Jack Lear; Meredith Andrea’s prizewinning poem from the BBC Proms Poetry Competition; the borders between prose and poetry expertly navigated by Sheila Endersby and Gregory Gilbert Gumbs (prose poetry/poetic prose); a concrete poem from J.Twm. Creative tension, as Ness Al-Shaikhly, Simon Cockle and Maria Stephenson each present a clash between different lives alternating down the page. Add to this the striking artwork on the cover and within by Elaine Thomas. This issue becomes one of our best yet. Reviews of books by William Alderson, Julie Edgell and Landeg White.
