The debut collection from Hannah Regel, whose forthcoming novel The Last Sane Woman is out this year with Verso."In OLIVER REED, growing-up happens naturally, clip clip clop, at the same time as it requires someone or something--line break or literal incision--to break you in. OLIVER REED is about how a pony body gets trained and a pony mind gets educated, over and over and over again. Time, in this book, loops more than it progresses: 'Sorry attends her Birth' after 'Sorry is a Girl, Grown Up.' I wish I'd read OLIVER REED at fourteen or eighteen; then again, I sort of feel like I did. This we already know: if looking at young girls never gets old, writing about them doesn't, either."--from the introduction by Olivia Kan-Sperling"In Hannah Regel's brilliant collection, OLIVER REED, the figure of the horse becomes an object for language's brutality and the all too familiar subjugation of women's voices, bodies, and labour. An impressive hyperbolic pastiche of pleasurable misbehavior guides a girl named Sorry through her own undoing while naming new tools for calculated resistance. 'Kill the language. Kill it. Get the shovel. We're making a belt.' I would gladly do whatever she tells me to do and wouldn't think of doing otherwise. Regel creates a new order for the ecstatic wreckage of obedience." --Cassandra Troyan, author of Blacken Me Blacken Me, Growled"Regel doesn't really sound like anyone. OLIVER REED introduces a poetic sensibility that seems as at odds with convention as it is equal to the moment: fully formed, virtuosic, kind of lethal. These are pitiless, discomforting poems that explore our own creatureliness with a deadly curiosity. Each is a transformation: the actor becomes a strange muse and guiding presence, to 'smoulder a mobile furnace'; the horse, another of the book's recurring figures, becomes more than an emblem of eros, labour and suffering; the young girl's bratty insolence turns defiant and stricken. The voice wills these changes into being even as she 'wills herself barren'. As much as they trouble and seduce, the poems are also watchful, vigilant - they seem to offer a means of protection. OLIVER REED is an astonishing, masterful first book." --Sam Riviere, author of 81 AusteritiesPoetry.

From bottom to top and back again, this issue is dedicated to the motif High, with all its connected meanings.We encounter physical, mental, and social states of up and down, high and low, how they relate to each other and yet constantly contradict. Inside are tales of drug history, addiction, the reproduction crisis, hopes and disappointments, radiation with benefits, high-pitched dolphin tones, and even a frightened cupcake.Within the format of a magazine, each page of Pfeil represents the floor, walls, or ceiling which together create an imagined room displaying a printed exhibition. Each issue is dedicated to a specific word, and artists are invited and given space to work on and with this term, and to construct or deconstruct the architecture around it. Combined, the contributions transform into an organic display surrounding the leitmotif.Featuring: Alejandra López, Bod Mellor, Cecilia Gentili, Christiane Blattmann, Claire DeVoogd, Cordula Ditz, Gerrit Frohne-Brinkmann, Jac Common, Jan Matthé, Jane Joritz-Nakagawa, Jakob Tanner, Jasmin Werner, Katie Della-Valle, Katy Lewis Hood, Leah Jun Oh, Lila de Magalhaes, Lucy Beech, Masha Silchenko, Marina Pinsky, Michael Kent, Michelle Esther O'Brien, Moesari, Nina Kuttler, Paige Emery, Paul Niedermayer, Penny Goring, Riar Rizaldi, Sands Murray-Wassink, Silvia Federici, Tang Han, Tina KämpeMagazine.

The characters in Glenn Haybittle's first collection of short stories are all caught in moments of life that bring about a revelation of identity. A young woman who, after the war, catches sight of the guard who knocked to the ground her blind grandfather on the platform at Auschwitz. The backstory of the man accused of murdering Martin Luther King. The experience of a young girl on Kristallnacht and the subsequent tragic upheavals in her life. A dance teacher accused of sexually abusing one of his young students. A man constrained to return to his mother and look after her while she goes through dementia. A CIA operative grooming a patsy to take the blame for an assassination. Beautiful, moving and humorous, the stories are set all around the globe - spinning from Kansas City, Jerusalem, London, Venice, Prague and Hamburg to Florence, Memphis, Rome, Paris and Provence.

Frank and his best buddy Betsie are busy playing their favourite game of catch the bubbles, but something goes horribly wrong.

"Britain is immersed in a toxic swamp, and sinkholes are opening up in the ground with alarming frequency. Amid the mayhem, three crimes take place: Stonehenge has been stolen, a porn-addicted ghost writer faces the phantoms of her past, and a murder takes place among ex-pats in a Goan village."--
