Paperboats Zine

Edited by Leonie Charlton and Karen Lloyd
The coming of winter reminds us of the change of light, the dimming down of the season. Everything is in flux; the last few swallows and martins have jinked their last until next spring, the energy of wildflowers retreats back down into the soil. In Issue Four of the Paperboats zine, we celebrate the many ways that writers notice the world around them – hedgehogs as ‘Spanish chestnuts in their brown prickly cases,’ but importantly, hedgehogs also as barometers of climate change. As well, we celebrate noticing in language and how the shifting world and the inner world of writers find some kind of equilibrium through the practice of poetry and prose.
