Wasafiri Issue 97, Spring 2019: General Issue: Wasafiri: International Contemporary Writing
Wasafiri encourages readers and writers to travel the world via the word. Since 1984 the magazine has been publishing the best international contemporary writing from a diverse range of cultures across the UK and beyond. Wasafiri challenges established literary canons by creating a unique space for distinctive new work that transcends borders and labels.
The dynamic, fresh writing we feature stimulates cross-cultural dialogues, which are brought to life through innovative live events. Wasafiri is well known for finding ‘the best of tomorrow’s writers today’, whilst simultaneously celebrating those who have gone on to become global literary voices. The magazine publishes literary articles, interviews, creative writing, reviews and illustrated essays on the visual arts in both general and Special Issues.
This general issue of Wasafiri (No. 97) is the first of 2019. It marks our thirty-fifth year of publication and the beginning of a year of celebration that will mark the magazine’s past achievements as well as build on the new. In keeping with Wasafiri’s broad mission to platform cultural dialogues, open new literary worlds and promote literary exchange, the contents here draw on writers and artists from Nigeria to Scotland, from the Caribbean to Pakistan, as well as several other regions and countries. Many interwoven threads connect the generous offerings in this issue — not only geographic but those dealing with social and political matters too, which emphasise, again, the power of words and our collective voices.
We welcome original submissions from new and established voices from all cultural backgrounds, which are peer-reviewed prior to acceptance. We are particularly keen to receive lively essays on recent work by contemporary writers or interviews with them. We are also open to proposals for Special Issues of the magazine. For submission guidelines and more information, visit our website.
