♥ GLASS ♥ CANYONS

Good afternoon! Something some friends and I have been working on for a while has finally come to fruition and I’m very excited so here, I present to you:

THE TIDE #1

The Tide is a DIY literary zine! It collects short stories, poems and assorted fiction in whatever other forms, all centered around a theme that changes every issue - for this, the first issue, we’ve gone with the theme of ‘beginnings’ for obvious and predictable reasons. 

It also features illustration from our amazing art team: Claire and Kate! Every contributor gets a cute little portrait drawn of them and some of the entries are also accompanied by lovely visuals.

The final product is, hopefully, somewhere between a literary journal and a DIY punk zine: engrossing prose and poetry stapled together with an guerilla ethos.

HOWEVER! One of my favourite things about this project is that, in this issue, alongside words written by people who would consider themselves ‘writers’, it also features a some really great pieces of writing by people who’ve never really written before! The Tide is a totally readable mini-anthology but also a bullhorn for creativity - we’re a little gang of people who love making art and want to encourage others to do it too.

So we want to get as many people involved as possible. There aren’t really any criteria you have to meet to contribute; the more diverse a range of people the better! If this all sounds like something you’d be interested in, either let me know in my Tumblr inbox or send us an e-mail over at [email protected] and we’ll add you into the Facebook group!

…LOOKS DOWN IN THE GATHERING SHADOW

ISCARIOT RISING

Six songs about empty spaces and our worried preoccupation with filling them, with fears lifted directly from b-movies, with self-destructive, apathetic desires and with unbridled affection for friendly dogs:

Negative Space (Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma)

Malamute

Skeleton Power?

Chang’e & the Jade Rabbit

No Egrets

Love in the Time of Dogspotting
