New Contrast Issue 209 Digital

R110.00

This issue is thick with such fragile luminosity. Each writer crafts work that insists on small acts and images, but resists the temptation to moralise. The writing here knows how to hide between stones and in the bark of trees, both comical and elegiac, insisting that tenderness persists even when structures of safety collapse. – Sindiswa Busuku
