from the Editorial
“One of the reasons this latest North is the Apart Together Issue is that nearly a third of the poems were started on Zoom, as part of a larger Arts Council funded digital project. See if you can guess which poems, though even we don’t know now. We’re glad to say these workshops will continue, many led by more (and the same!) brilliant guest-tutors. We are looking forward to beginning ‘real life’ Writing Days, but it is wonderful to work with people so far apart and altogether and as it were up-close on-screen. As well as Zoom workshops and masterclasses, ‘Apart Together’ includes fantastic input – such as conversations, blogs, writing tasks and reading recommendations – from our monthly Digital Poets-in-Residence. Check them out, you know where.
“And finally, many thanks to the contributors for another stand-out issue – the feature writers and reviewers not least (we know we are blessed), and of course thank you to the poets. And thank you gentle reader, where would we be without you. If you’re also a poet (are you, you never said), send us poems please – not by post though but online these hip and virtual days. Meanwhile, from Ann and me and the rest of the team, we hope you are keeping well.”
