Butcher's Dog Issue 10
Here we are. We’ve made it all the way to issue 10 of our canny little mag! Now what? Well, we’ve decided to enter a fallow year; a time to let the ground rest, a time to take stock.
Before we go, we leave you with 24 poems that seem to fit these uncertain times perfectly, if ‘uncertain’ doesn’t seem like too much of an understatement. Maybe dark times is better. The poems that you’ll meet in this issue come from a place that feels very much on the edge, from the impending apocalypse of Lauren Garland’s kim jong-un threatened final doom of the u.s. to the nihilistic behaviour of Zuriel Jameson in Roy Marshall’s poem.
