Our most recent edition of The Letters Page, Vol. 6, will again run as an email newsletter rather than a print edition. As such, it is available for you here, dear reader, online.
Our first letter comes from Hannah Jansen, an evocative response to Anne Sexton’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ poem, written by the wicked stepmother herself. Our second letter has arrived via the gardens of Belgrade as Grug Muse explores why nature is still so important in today’s digital landscape. Our latest submissions comes from Sonya Moore who’s postscript comes to us from the city of Chartres. As we continue to receive your letters through our door, we hope the latest volume will take you all around the world, across continents and time zones.
Stay tuned for the rest of the letters of Vol. 6. We hope that you enjoy reading them as much as we do.

I was living then with my parents, in a rural part of north Wales, with a large garden and an expanse of…
The Letters Page Vol. 6, #1: You Must Still Beware of the Wolves
Letter by Hannah Jansen Dear S, Who knows if, or when, you’ll get this. It’s rather wild out here where I am, and I can’t speak to the reliability of the mail service. Anyway, time doesn’t matter much here, even if you’re getting on where you are.
