Square Issue 2
 
This was the first themed issue. Having been to the academi's writers' weekend in Belfast, I, Nick Fisk (the editor) decided to give this issue a Belfast theme. It didn't quite turn out as planned as I was unable to secure writing from certain people who'd attended the weekend as hoped (notable omission being Sinead Morrissey's "Through The Square Window" poem, as I didn't hear back from her). However, Ifor Thomas and Neil Frude, who were there, each chipped in with a couple.
 
The deciding part of John Davies' short story also features, along with writing from England-based-but-Welsh, Kate Noakes, proud Ponty boy, Dave Lewis, Valleys-girl Jan Price, American-but-Cardiff based, Andrew Shakespeare (yes, that is his real name), someone called The Brigadier, and someone else called Engleburt Bartfast (no, that's not his real name).
