John G Hall, the founding editor of Citizen32 arts and literature magazine, is seeking £500 crowdfunder aid to help launch a new poetry and short story magazine based in Manchester, which will be aiming for an international readership. The title Beatification refers to its Beat poetry influence but the editors will be looking for a wide range of poetry and prose, plus Beat-inspired graphics. The magazine is hoping to publish three times a year, organised around a travelling launch event and the regular poetry night Beatification in Manchester’s Fuel Cafe Bar. More details
