The first issue of Voiceworks with editor Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn and designer Cecile Richard, ‘Gleam’ is brimming with exciting new fiction, poetry, nonfiction and visual art by people under the age of 25.
In Gleam you’ll find memoir about nude candles, classical sculpture and femininity, poetry about Bento lunches, relationships gone stale and long distance friendships preserved in knickknacks. Sink your teeth into essays on the secret lives of fruitbats, globalization in the Himalayan foothills and experimental writing on self-commodification. Devour a spread of comics and art about cicadas, dark chocolate cults and baby dragons. Get lost in short stories about the long buried language of Atlantean, teenagers on the moon, disappearing grandmothers and more. Discover upcoming opportunities for young writers and absorb wisdom from an interview with author and previous Voiceworks contributor Eda Gunaydin.
