Hallo there, welcome to the new HU issue. It seems like 20 minutes since the last one. We measure our lives in magazine issues indeed. This issue continues our policy of allowing authors to speak for themselves. We think it's an effective way of getting to the heart of their work. From the horse's mouth so to speak. We hope you like it. There are links to buy books at the end of each feature if you're so inclined. We should also mention that there's lots happening on the HUMAN Archive. For those not in the know, we created a free online archive where you can read defunct Irish small literary magazines including all the print editions of the Honest Ulsterman. See it at www.huarchive.co for free! We're always looking for any material relating to the HU or other old magazines to add to it. If you have anything, give us a shout and we'll get back to you. Thanks as always to our feature writers, interviewers, open submission contributors and of course all our readers. Image by David Haughey, this month's Featured Artist.
