170 x 240 mm, 218 pages London, UK Biannual First published 2019 Editors: Caitlin McLoughlin, P. Eldridge, Clem MacLeod and Arcadia Molinas Design: Caitlin McLoughlin and Clem MacL eod Worms is a biannual ‘female-led print publishing platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of writers marginalised within the literary world.’ Following last year’s tenth edition, themed ‘Love,’ this one addresses ‘Faith & Worship,’ a theme the editors explain grew from the previous one. ‘In our study of the heart’s infinite mysteries there lurked an undercurrent of something else. Faith, close to love, was a persistent reoccurrence.’ American author and poet Fanny Howe is remembered on the cover, and inside you’ll find contributions about Howe from Eileen Myles, Chris Kruas and more. Olivia Laing, Sarah Schulman, Michelle Tea and Temperance Aghamohammadi also contribute to the issue. On the JournalAt work with Caitlin McLoughlin: ‘What I love about Worms, and the magazine project generally, is that adaptability and constant evolution is built into it’s iterative nature. We always want to be responsive to literary and political discourse, to be a salve or a platform for what our community is experiencing, interested in, or concerned by. So in that sense our future is determined and engaged by external forces, which is the way it should be.’read more wormsmagazine.com Show more
