Lighthouse 22 (The Breakout Issue) features poetry submitted during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, so, naturally it touches on those themes, However, this is not simply a lockdown issue. The poems are wide ranging in theme and scope and the features give a rare glimpse at the personal work of the editors.
Issue 8 looks at collaboration with features by Steven Fowler & Ben Morris (The Estates of Westeros) and Madeleine Campbell’s essay on translating the Algerian Francophone poet Mohammed Dib. With prose from Lander Hawes and Tim Sykes, plus poems from Paul Stephenson and Judith Lal.
