is now open to the public.

Its many angular, curvy, oblong or rhomboid delights include a Special (note capital 's') feature on contemporary German language poetry (Germania and Manuskripte) with 'Missing Bandwidths', an accompanying essay by Andrew Duncan, poetry by Sheila Murphy, Philip Nikolayev, Tom Bell, Tim Allen (with an extensive 'Duck'), Mark Weiss, Harriet Zinnes, Douglas Barbour, Peter Riley, Robin Hamilton, Jill Jones, Angela Gardner, Pierre Joris, Chris Jones, W.B.Keckler, Dee Rimbaud, Jeff Harrison, Paul Croucher, Patrick Herron, extended translations of poetry by Gregor Laschen and, from the Dutch, Nachoem Wijnberg (translated by Andrew Duncan and Karlien van den Breukel). It covers in all work from three continents, with too a short story by Jonathan Taylor and prose from Paul Murphy and, last and of course least, as a sop to editorial exhaustion, a sampler of David Bircumshaw's hyper-text prose or poem 'The Ghost Machine', complete with an interview with a ghost and a talkative bird with doubts about the Almighty and views on literary theory.

The German language poets in translation are: Thomas Gruber, Sabine Techel, Hansjörg Schertenleib, Ulf Stolterfoht, Dorothea Grünzweig, Gerhard Falkner, Peter Gosse, Günter Herburger, Heinz Czechowski, Jan Faktor, Max Gad, Gerhard Ochs, Annette Brüggemann, Felix Philipp Ingold, Martina Huegli, JP Jacobs, Paul Wühr, Ute Eitinger, Helwig Brunner and Laschen.
