EDITORIAL
This third issue of
Swale Life in a way sets out our plans for the future. We
have continued to keep this magazine small and sweet, with a
balance of news and events items in Swale alongside creative
writing.
The Swale Life
Writing Workshops for Young People are quarterly workshops
we are set to run from the end of the first quarter of 2011.
With on-site workshopping in Sittingbourne and another
online, we expect to impact creatively in and around Swale
and across the country helping our youth acquire the
necessary skills for lives in the literary sector.
Other
not-to-be-missed events from September are the Women
Empowering Women for Leadership conference slated for
September 23rd, 2010, and the Community Cohesion in Swale
and Kent billed for October 6th.
In the poetry
corner, Nnorom Azuonye's 'This Land is not a Land of Terror'
brings a bit of twist into the on-going discussion about
whether Nigeria should be viewed as a terrorist nation
following the attempted bombing of US airliner by Umar
Abdulmuttallab, by worrying about other on-going concerns in
the country such as armed robbery and kidnapping.
Two stories in the
fiction sector are well-told by Mary-Laine Friday 'The Shoes
that Took Her Away' in which the viccissitudes of a
runaway's life are so tenderly rendered and 'The Island' by
Briony Jones which explores the anxieties of being stranded
in an island all alone which draws the reader into the
breathless dreamscape.
I hope I have not
put too much spoilers in.
Enjoy.
