Wasafiri Bundle – Queer Literature and Literary Activism
Four issues for just £33, exclusively on the Wasafiri website.
Wasafiri 109 introduces new fiction and an interview from Monica Ali, the 2021 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize winners, and a lead feature on Trans Literary Activism written collaboratively across generations. An incendiary article on postcolonial prize cultures, an interview with Sara Ahmed on Complaint!, and the winning entry from the 2021 Wasafiri Essay Prize on the politics of Hong Kong poetry continue the issue’s theme of literary activism across genres, institutions, and continents.
Exclusively on the Wasafiri website we're offering a bundle of four issues for £33: Wasafiri 109, Wasafiri 98: Queer Worlds, Wasafiri 90: Native North American Literature and Literary Activism, and Wasafiri 50: Queer Postcolonial. With work from authors such as Dean Atta, Mary Jean Chan, Maureen Duffy, Keith Jarrett, and Kimberley Blaeser, each of these issues expands and complements the work in 109 to create a bundle that considers different facets of queer literature and life, and literary activism.
