Our first featured writer was Mark SaFranko. This time round we invited Adelle Stripe to take the helm and she’s done us proud.
By way of background, Adelle’s poetry, prose and music journalism have been published in all the right places, 3:AM, Rising, Scarecrow, Savage Kick and Laura Hird to name a few. She is also the editor of her own litzine Straight from the Fridge. Her poems appear in the Brutalist anthology 'Nowhere Fast' alongside poetry by fellow Brutalists Tony O'Neill and Ben Myers. Her debut solo collection is 'Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid', published by Blackheath Books. Beat the Dust is very pleased to have the opportunity to showcase so much of Adelle’s new, unpublished work all in one place, with illustrations by one of the most talented artists in London right now, Lisa Cradduck.
Alongside Adelle’s poems and stories are her answers to questions posed by the great and the good of the underground Brit lit and music scenes. So, close the curtains, grab yourself an Old Legover (umm, it’s a beer!) and a bag of Seabrook Crisps and have a read of the August issue of BTD at www.beatthedust.com… but don’t tell yer mum what yer doing… or more to the point, Adelle’s mum what she's been doing!
The September issue of BTD will be a return to the usual format so get writing and send us your very best work: www.melissamann.com/send-a-submission.asp by 24th August 08.
