The Quiet Feather Issue 6 - January 2006

qfiss6cv.gif


The latest issue of The Quiet Feather floated gently out of the printers in the first few days of the New Year. It is a lovingly put together magazine, the contents reflecting the electic tastes of the editors that have organisied the diverse range of poetry, artwork, prose, comics and essays with a delicate touch that allows each piece to do its own thing - including two graphic poems by Nathan Penlington: 'Unpredictive' and 'Love/Hate poem'.


And you get all this for only £2.50. How do they do it? I don't know. I'm just glad that someone does.

In the meantime, get yourself a copy of the latest issue of The Quiet Feather - a lovingly put together magazine - which includes two poems by Nathan Penlington.
