Thank you to illustrator, Liam Lefr, for his fantastic cover design. Liam is a University of Worcester graduate in illustration and gained a first class degree at the University’s state of the art ‘Art House', where he has exhibited work several times. Liam creates his illustrations digitally, but can also use traditional mediums, and is a keen printmaker. He doesn't limit his practice to creating smaller digital images and he has created to commission several large scale abstract murals that are displayed in various buildings in his home city, Worcester. Primarily, Liam’s work carries a theme of folklore, nature and pattern. He is influenced by European folk culture and tales of magic and mystery. He hopes to captivate his audience with an atmosphere of wonder in his work.


Thank you to each of our wonderful poets for these brilliant poems, I feel very honoured to be able to publish your work in Dust.


And thank you, too, to everyone who submitted poetry for the issue, the standard of work was astonishingly high, and to everyone who supports Dust online. I continue to be inspired by the talent, support, and kindness of the poetry community online.


I hope you enjoy these glimmering poems as much as I have.


Happy New Year.
