About All Ways Open is a publication aiming to tell small stories about place: stories about pigeons and mountain ranges, stories both real and imagined. It's an experiment in opening writing outwards, directing readers towards visual histories and archives. We aim to think in triplicate: to consider past / present / future, visual / written / read, self / friend /community. We consider arrangments loosely, allowing threads to tangle segments together.

All Ways Open is open for submissions.

In my play wet plums daisy chains
my longing into the wide azure defender
backdrop sunned granite broken
rocks the fortitude of youth arms wide
circle circle circle me once more
before you go.
