Issue 10

Welcome to Issue 10 of StylusLit, where author, poet and editor, Philip Neilsen, shares his work and views on writing.

Other poets in this issue are Phil Brown, Angela Costi, B.R.Dionysius, Jane Frank, Marcelle Freiman, Dominique Hecq, Stu Hatton, John Hicks, Alana Kelsall, Dom Symes, Carl Walsh, Les Wicks and Jena Woodhouse.

There’s creative non-fiction from Erica Wheadon, and short fiction from Paul Murgatroyd, Peter Murphy, Mark O’Flynn, Karen Petersen, and Ron Singer.

Finally, read reviews of Airplane Baby Banana Blanket by Benjamin Dodds, Wide River by Jane Frank, Kaosmos by Dominique Hecq, and The Beating Heart by Denise O’Hagan.

The new year will see some changes. After five years of involvement, Andrew Leggett will be leaving his position as fiction and non-fiction editor to pursue more writing. Andrew has made a tremendous contribution and we wish him all the best. The March issue will be co-edited by Andrew and our incoming editor, Gershon Maller, after which Gershon will take the reins. We are very happy to have Gershon onboard. His research theses explored the works of J.L. Borges and Wallace Stevens, respectively. Read more in About.

Enjoy!
