albanlow Tags: , Leave a comment

Hannah O’Reilly is 11, loves bloggers and trampolining and was diagnosed with Dyslexia four years ago. Thanks to the support of an inspirational Special Educational Needs teacher her reading is now fine and she has the confidence to express her creativity. Hannah’s poem was part of a class project on the First World War. She was asked to write a letter to an Unknown Soldier and the images it inspired lent itself to a Chapbook

If you haven’t seen it yet why not pay a visit to the Hack Bridge where it crosses the River Wandle in Carshalton. Here you’ll find a beautiful garden created by artist Claudio Funari. Through the photographs of Bill Mudge this chapbook reveals the hidden depths of its creator and place itself.

Seeethingographer #2 Summer 2017: Going Home

albanlow Leave a comment

A collection of writing and images on the theme of ‘Going Home’.

A word from our guest editor Sinead Keegan…..
Reading through the submissions for this issue of The Seethingographer was a peek behind the curtains and around the corners of the spaces people call home. These pages are filled with the nuances of what it means to go home, from Alan Boyce’s gritty reality of homelessness to the hearth fairy of Julia Rose Lewis. Sometimes we find ourselves on the threshold, neither home nor away from home, as in Roger Leege’s ‘Fast Food’ which showed me a moment from my own childhood, and Maite Lisa Jordao’s permanent liminal emigrant existence ‘Coming Home’. Whether you know the places described, or they are alien, like Jim Lawrence’s cosmic view ‘Super Ape’, at the heart of all the pieces is the home we all know or perhaps long for. Enjoy the journey. Enjoy the homecoming.

If You Came This Way: A Guide to Meditation – Kevin Acott

albanlow Leave a comment

If You Came This Way is the third instalment in Kevin Acott’s travel chapbook series. The themes and desires of this book lie somewhere between San Francisco and London. Kevin spent a week in a zen retreat in San Francisco before travelling back to London. The next stop on Kevin’s journey is Greenland.

One Amazon reviewer described it as ‘Cartland on Acid’ but it owes more to a kind of mindfulness that would have been perfected by Serge Gainsbourg.
