Shearsman 99 & 100

The first issue of the magazine for 2014, and a big anniversary, as the magazine's second series reaches the 100th issue. Originally appearing as a quarterly, the magazine converted to bi-annual publication in a larger format, but retained the previous numbering system, necessitating a shift to double numbers. Each new double issue was more than twice as large as one old one. This issue contains poetry by Gabrielle Alioth, Martin Anderson, James Bell, Linda Black, Rosie Breese, Geraldine Clarkson, Ken Cockburn & Alec Finlay, Claire Crowther, Makyla Curtis, Harry Guest, Gary Hotham, David Kennedy, Peter Larkin, Mary Leader, Yann Lovelock, Becka Mara McKay, Christopher Middleton, Helen Moore, Sonia Overall, Simon Perchik, Peter Riley, Alexandra Sashe, Hilda Sheehan and Elzbieta Wojcik-Leese, plus translations of Gaston Baquero by Peter Boyle, of Ivano Fermini by Ian Seed, and of Gonca Ozmen by George Messo.
