We set out to stage a series of encounters between writers and artists and index them in the form of a magazine.

Whilst some writer-artist pairings first met during the writing process, most of the relationships featured predate it, and some have long involved closeness. The nine artists might, at moments, feel that the text accompanying their work sees them but that at others their work is misunderstood. We hope that both are points of contact — something that glints.

We thank every contributor for their trust in handling their relating.
