Issue 2 Expansion

Thanks largely to one man, a Mr Steven Fowler, Cleaves2 will include these sections: Lithuania, Romania, Iceland, Estonia, Moscow, perhaps even Norway! This is in addition to all the sections that were in Cleaves ONE. Wow!

Big thanks to Steve.

Reactions

The response to Cleaves has been great, so thank you everyone.

I have been talking to the boys at Openned, for their first podcast: http://opennedpoetry.squarespace.com/podcast/

Steve, Alex & I talked about Cleaves, as well as some of my other projects.
Issue 2 is coming along well.

Cleaves Journal ‘ONE’

‘ONE’ is now online. And what a relief. A few errors were discovered, but these are fixed now. I am sure there will be more.

Now there’s the paper version to worry about.

Thank you to everyone for the positive responses, it makes the stress worthwile!

2 days to go…

I have just received the final section for Cleaves. Tomorrow will be stressful checking checking & rechecking, making sure everything works. I am also having trouble creating a print version. It wouldn’t be feasible for me to print it myself (the print version is 74 pages) & for the moment I’m going through the Lulu route.

Print versions won’t be ready to purchase til at least February, though I should be able to work out how much east issue will cost soon, so pre-orders can begin.

Cleaves Journal Coming Soon

Cleaves Journal website is here: http://www.cleavesjournal.com

Issue ‘ONE’ is due out on 14th January.

I will update this blog with news regarding the journal as often as I can.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year,

Harry Godwin
