Plus: SUZANNE ANDRADE – Winner of SHORTFUSE POETRY IDOL 5, "She cuts up poems she wrote when she was eight years old. She cuts them with a blunt pair of crayola scissors. She sticks them to her bedroom wall with a mixture of salt and milk. She shares her paper cut tales with other people’s Uncles in car parks (after dark) scout huts (As day is dawning) and the patch of wasteland round the back of the bowling alley where butchers constructively criticise her. Her name is Miss Suzanne Andrade. She has come to sharpen her scissors."

zafusy is an experimental poetry ezine and jounal that also publishes visual art and prose - currently gearing up for its first paper issue. It also lists selected poetry and related events in and around London. Its clean, minimal design gives the writing room to breathe - even the Poetry Society likes it (zafusy features in their list of Poetry Landmarks - as do we) - refreshing as sipping from a really cold bottle of water on an overheated overcrowded tube and everyone else eyeing you with envy.
