open conversations that help us to realise it is as ok to speak about struggles and darkness, as it is to talk about recovery and hope. After all, they are ‘human, all too human’ concerns that actually, we all share. Thanks to all who contributed and showed themselves in these pages.

I met Orla last year wen we were starting our master degree in Art and Politics at Goldsmiths. The first time I heard about the magazine was through he rown words during the day we had our individual presentations. I found it a very inspiring and necessary initiative. One year Later, I find myself writing this after having contributed to the design and layout of this issue. And, I find myself inspired by an experience which I hope to repeat. When we sometimes do not find meanings that work for us, poetry and art arise from the darkness and bring us a new landscape of possibilities. I hope these poems and works contribute to make the darkness a better understood place like they did for me.
