Issue IX: anchor explores what it means to feel safe and secure, with a particular focus on belonging within nature – the earth and sea.
Issue X: oleander weaves a web of contrasts between beauty and toxicity, highlighting how this dichotomy often appears within ourselves, our relationships and in our memory.
Issue XI: compass is about navigating life on both a personal and universal plane, acting almost as a sequel to Issue IX.

Issue V: Cassandra (prophecy & deceit) endeavours to be a place for the truth; a place to lift up rather than silence a myriad of voices.
Issue VI: Li Ji (courage & the serpent) issue is a showcase of writers and artists from across the globe exploring what courage, power, temptation & sacrifice mean to them.

Issue VIII: Guinevere (rebirth) explores who we are, were and will be. It is about becoming, the narratives we tell and own. It is about reclamation and imagination.

Issue I: hebe (the fountain of youth) explores what it means to be young and the hallowed and mythologised nature of youth.
Issue II: hermes (the kaleidoscope) celebrates the abstract, surrealism and the multi-faceted with many contributors reflecting upon life and death.
