170 x 240 mm, 188 pages London, UK Biannual First published in 2019 Founding editor: Clem MacLeod Design: Caitlin McLoughlin Worms is a biannual ‘female-led print publishing platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of writers marginalised within the literary world.’ This latest—and inaugural full colour—edition of Worms doubles down on its ‘central tenet’: revering the radical potential of ‘writing as protest, as remedy, as subterfuge, as escape.’ American activist, artist, and author Tourmaline is the cover star of this issue, featured in conversation with editor P. Eldridge inside. Elsewhere, expect contributions from Namwali Serpell, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Jamieson Webster, Wayne Koestenbaum, Sophie Robinson, Missouri Williams, Robert Glück, Bambi Lake, and more. Plus, flick to the back for the team’s current book recommendations—from Ben Lerner’s eagerly awaited new novel ‘Transcription’, to a subversive compendium of fairy tales by Angela Carter. 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
