First off the block was the new issue of my journal of choice, Gutter. Number 26 is built around poets from the Indian subcontinent, exposing me to yet more brilliant writing I probably would never have found by myself which is, after all, the joy of literary journals. Beyond those poets there was new work from old favourites such as Ely Percy and nicky melville, and two writers whose work I will definitely look out for in the future, Alessandra Thom and Rachel Lyon.
