HEAT Series 3 Number 6

HEAT Series 3 Number 6, in fuchsia pink, marks our first year back in print. It opens with an essay on the nature of time by Fiona Wright, followed by a meditation on childhood, grief, and freedom by Hanne Ørstavik (trans. Martin Aitken); then, a sequence of poems about bereavement by Zang Di (trans. Eleanor Goodman), insights on fatherhood by Oscar Schwartz, some surprising ceramic post-it notes by artist Kenny Pittock, and a long essay by Amitava Kumar about the ideological shifts across decades in eastern India.

From the issue

Dear editor, The problem isn’t that the young desire to do wrong but, often, their inability to separate right from wrong. This ability arrives only with a sense of consequences, which is linked to an idea of time. The young cannot imagine a time outside their time.

I arrive at the doctor’s office early in the morning. I have forgotten my mask and ask for one at the front desk. Then I take a seat in the waiting room, which looks like a professionally managed Airbnb. Exposed light bulbs and plastic ivy hang from the roof. There is a pink neon sign on the wall that says, in cursive, ‘better together’.
