THE CLEARING
- - An online journal published by Little Toller Books that offers writers and artists a dedicated space in which to explore and celebrate the landscapes we live in. Our contributors are encouraged to go forth and find distinctive visions that startle us, rural or urban, modern or prehistoric, industrial, post-industrial, fantastical, natural, political, however they come. But each must be meaningful, surprising, felt.

  - A Field with a View by Jane RyanI knew that ownership was one key to the sense of safety that this meadow was offering us.
  - Leaf Litter by William RowlandsonAnd that is where the pain is. Like a medic in a war, patching up the wounded to patch up the wounded.
  - The Man of Blackmore Vale by Jonathan LawHow do we separate the reality of a place, a region, from our private hopes and nostalgias?
