smoke
a
london peculiar
a
52-page magazine of
words and
images inspired by the city
...
a love-letter to
London, to
the wet
neon flicker of late-night pavements, electric with endless
possibility, and
the soft dishevelled beauty of the city’s dawn... to the
overheard
stories and unexplored histories, the facts and the fictions, the
accidental poetry and fugitive art of graffiti-slashed suburban
stations and rain-splashed shopfronts... the out-of-shot lives
half-glimpsed from a train window, or from a phone number scrawled on
the back of a Travelcard, dropped on the night-bus stairs...

UPDATE ON
ISSUE#12
As anyone who's read Issue#11 will know, #12 was supposed to be out in
April. As anyone who's also read issues #1 to #10 will know, we're
sometimes almost slappably optimistic, and I'm afraid the mayoral
elections rather sapped us of inspiration, leaving us gazing blankly
into the middle-distance, rather than at the computer screen. But -
well, it's nearly done, and should be off to the printer's by the end
of next week... though of course that only makes sense if you know when
I'm writing this, and I think I've already told you enough.
