More on The Hythe Review: www.openlibhums.org/journals/

#WritingCommunity #the87press #literature #londonpoetry
Graphic of TheHythe Review logo, Open Library of Humanities logo and the87press puzzle logo. With text in the middle reading: Introducing The Hythe Review a collaboration with Open Library of Humanities & the87press. Issue 1 forthcoming March 2026 Two quotes reading: "I’m excited to be part of The Hythe Review, an open-access journal that hopes to shape not just what we read but also how and why - with an ethic of care, critical rigour, and collectivity at its heart. I deeply look forward to supporting and being shaped by the many brilliant writers whose work will find a home here." -Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Poetry and Reviews Editor. "I'm delighted to work with the Hythe Review to publish critical and creative radical writing that speaks with and through the current conjuncture." -Dr. Abeera Khan (SOAS), Non-Fiction Editor Two quotes reading: “Working together, the OLH and the87press can begin the difficult task of tackling entrenched inequalities in the under-representation of marginalised writers in publishing.” - Professor Caroline Edwards, OLH Executive Director. “The Hythe Review will build laterally, fostering a space for critical dialogue which will improve the reception and accessibility of poetry in the UK whilst also shining the light on non-fiction publications that mobilise critical insights gleaned from our global and local contexts.” - Azad Ashim Sharma, The87press Founding Director
