Social Yet Distanced: Sgt. Pepper Did Not Have to Be Lonely, Or How I Learned To Love The Smell Of Wet Poet

Fran Lock has a wonderful virtual sit-down with Alan Humm, founder and editor of One Hand Clapping,  a free online magazine that attempts to help new, under-represented and unpublished authors, as well as artists, musicians and composers, by featuring them in the same pages as those who are more established.  Alan is a writer and a teacher of English who has just completed his first collection, the intriguingly titled: A Brief and Biased History of Love.  He is also the editor and founder of One Hand Clapping Magazine, which began its online life last year, but which published a single glorious print version three years prior, and we're going to talk about that and about the transition from print to digital a little later on. So far, we have been lucky enough to feature work by Ali Smith, Les Murray, Hilary Mantel, Lydia Davis, Mark Doty, Colm Toibin, Paul Muldoon, John Burnside, Gillian Clarke, David Harsent, Martin Parr, and many others alongside our less-well-known contributors. They've managed to build a readership to be proud of.  https://www.1handclapping.online/
