HEAT Series 3 Number 5

The appeal of the random, the accidental, the chance, the unpredictable, except in the case of breakfast, is surely essential and needed for a life to be alive. Patterns can be found later.

So writes Stephanie Radok in HEAT Series 3 Number 5, in an essay about gardening, art-making and the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Chance encounters occur often in these pages: between Nöelle Janaczewska’s dramatic appreciation of cheese and art, Jenny Erpenbeck’s things that disappear, a deceptively simple set of stories about friendship by Oliver Driscoll, Mary Jean Chan’s lucid verses of self-expression, an uncanny story by Katharina Volckmer, and Kate Middleton’s biting poems about watching television.

Across poetry and prose, the seven writers featured in HEAT Series 3 Number 5 share singular, often dreamlike, perspectives on appetites, art and nature.
