Trumpet

Trumpet is a publication by Poetry Ireland, a literary pamphlet offering reviews, opinions and essays on poetry and the arts.

Nandi Jola's issue focuses on themes of migration, memory, and breath/breathlessness. From the editor: ‘Breath has that lingering sense of travelling somewhere, of being inhaled by something or someone else, and by unravelling the connections of breath comes topics of seeking refuge, drowning, injustice, citizenship, and forced migration.’ 

The cover illustration brings together the idea of breathing and journey; the lungs as transport system. Art and poetry show us the way. This is a map to guide us.
