In the Current with Sarah Brockhaus Issue Eight
Dear Reader,
Issue 8 of The Shore takes on pasts, unflinchingly facing grief, movement and the ephemerality of the current moment. It is filled with rivers and rose gardens, crayons and hermit crabs, chickens and fields. These poets give language to the fleeting, providing a voice for what would otherwise pass by unspoken.
