Note from the editor
Welcome to the 4th issue of Neon Highway.
On the 1st may 2003, I organised the 2nd Neon Highway reading in Liverpool.
The readings are run in conjunction with the magazine and I am hoping to put more of these on in the future. I have recently received a grant from North West Arts for Neon Highway. This is to help me up until next April. The idea is to promote the magazine and poetry readings and to pay individual poets to come to the readings as invited guests. The idea is for published and unpublished writers to network as well as to encourage and make room for further innovative and experimental work.
My aim is to eventually gain a permanent venue where I can exhibit work by poets and artists as well as to provide regular readings, a space where poets and artists can meet up, exchange ideas, write, study, read and be creative. The next reading will take place on 19th August, 8-10 pm at Club 3345, Parr Street Liverpool. For enquiries, please contact me at Neon Highway or at [email protected]
In this issue I would like to pay tribute to a unique person who recently died, the editor and poet Richard Caddel who passed away on1 April, 2003. If you would like to read more on Caddel’s life and the tributes that have been made to him then please refer to: http://jacketmagazine.com/22/caddel.html#gil1
My first read of Caddel’s editing was the book ‘Other, British and Irish Poetry Since 1970’, co-edited with Peter Quartermain (1999), a worthwhile read containing poets who are up to the minute and spot on when it comes to being innovative and imaginative with the form and content of their work. I’ve listed details about ‘Other’ in the back of this magazine.
I am very pleased to announce that Maggie O’Sullivan has agreed to contribute to a future Neon Highway. Maggie is also published in the book ‘Other’ edited by Richard Caddel.
It would also be wonderful if all subscribers in which this is their last issue could please re-subscribe to the 5th issue onwards and keep Neon Highway on the road!
Many thanks for your support.
