We’re back, and once again looking for submissions of art, writing, poetry, recipes (and anything else you’d like us to try) for our second issue of Feast.
To those with an arty appetite, we’re inviting you to a feast. Leave your troubles at the door and the cooking to us. Let's savour a selection of complex, fresh, and warming work. You might even try something new.
Our second edition is called Chimera. Hybrids, monsters, mash-ups. Something imagined and just out of reach, or a dream come true. Without them, nothing to haunt us. Without them, there's nothing.
Submissions close September 30th 2024.
Khalil Gibran once wrote that "all our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind". And oh, what crumbs they are! It's been remarkable to see the quality and creativity of your submissions.
This beautiful issue features nearly 60 pages of art, recipes, poetry, photography and more.
Copies are available via this link here at a pay-as-you-feel price. Please consider supporting us by purchasing one.
Happy Feasting!

- Daniel Ginsburg
Daniel is an Oxford-based photographer and ex-bookseller with a passion for pottery, SF books, folklore, Below Deck, and a love-hate relationship with writing.
His favourite meal to eat is pizza siciliana (the one with anchovies).
His favourite meal to cook is butternut squash and sage risotto, with plenty of white wine.
- Genevieve Tomes
Genevieve is an Bath-based corporate cog who enjoys a cheeky splash of poetry, cooking, music, Below Deck, and frolicking.
Her callings in life are beancurd snacks and crisps (but she's on her second crisp ban of the year).
She loves to cook South Indian cuisine - at the moment she's on an idli chutney drive.
- Rocket
Rocket provides moral support, regular walks and ambient (piercing) background noise to the team here at Feast.
His favourite meal is tinned tuna served on a bed of dry doggy kibble, served in his labyrinthine bowl so he doesn't choke himself.
Sometimes he likes to treat himself to a little lick of cat faeces, as a treat.
