ISSUE 12.1: Poetry, Creativity and Travel

Axon: Creative Explorations Vol 12, No 1, June 2022

Poetry, Creativity and Travel Cover Image

This issue of the Axon journal investigates ways in which contemporary poetry (and other forms of creative practice) constitute, result from or are otherwise connected to travel—whether this is understood literally or metaphorically. This issue was jointly conceived and compiled by Cassandra Atherton and Paul Hetherington, who received many outstanding contributions, and Paul Munden then edited the issue. For complex reasons, there has been a delay in publishing the issue and we thank all of the contributors for their patience.

Edited by Paul Hetherington, Cassandra Atherton and Paul Munden.
