16 - Jack

Autumn 2010

PRINT EDITION: Sold out

Jack, the 16th issue of Fuselit, is printed on pumpkin orange paper and features our first foray into fold-out covers. You'll notice at once a fairy tale-esque Jack the Lad type wielding an oversized sword, but who or what is his opponent?

Beyond this scene of deadly conflict, liberally scattered underfoot, are poems by:

Cully Bryant • Ray Blake • Peter Branson • Nick Kelly • Ronan Murphy • Matthew Haigh • Richard Osmond • Yew Leong Lee • Ben Stainton • Christos Sakellaridis • Jen Wainwright • Richard Halperin • Nick Asbury • Jo Bell • Sophie Clarke • Paul Ings • Rab Green • Shiona Tregaskis

Plus prose from:

William Peacock • Marvin Shackelford • Paul Norcross • Mark Sinclair • Andre Naffis-Sahely • Daisy Hildyard • Eoin Murphy

There are also illustrations by Jonathan Kelham and Rebecca Eddy and recorded contributions from Jeremy Keighley, Ryan Van Winkle and Ragland.
