Vasiliki Albedo & Lucy Holme
We are really thrilled to announce a new collaboration between two wonderful poets, Vasiliki Albedo and Lucy Holme. Known for the stunning originality and intensity of their work, we have commissioned these very special poets to explore the intersections of place, language, and the experience(s) of traveling. Working with guest editor Philiip Rush, Lucy and Vas are writing towards a pamphlet that will be both expansive and intimate. We hope you’re as excited as we are about this new collaboration – stay tuned for updates on publication with Dialect Press later this year.
Congratulations to Vas and Lucy! Find out more about both poets below.
