Grass #4

150 x 220 mm, 110 pages altogether (double publication, packed together)
London, England
Editor: Tommy Sissons
Design: Jake Buckley

‘Fuck Philip Larkin’

Those are the three words that open this edition of Grass magazine, a (relatively) new publication platforming working-class literature, art and photography from around the UK. Inside, you’ll find photography from Liverpool, short fiction from Newcastle upon Tyne, found art from Birmingham, and plenty more.

As editor Tommy Sissons writes: ‘The working-class have never waited for permission to speak or act. Grass stands as a testament to this. ... [It's] more than just a magazine; it is a declaration that the working class will not be silenced or side-lined.’

This issue also has a spectacular new design, coming in two stapled volumes conatined in a miniature candy-striped paper bag.

And if you’re wondering about the title, it was this inspired by this delightful little ditty by ‘national treasure’ Philip Larkin:

I want to see them starving,
The so-called working class.
Their wages weekly halving,
Their women stewing grass.
