We are particularly interested to invite poems from new phase poets. These are poets who have come late to poetry, often following retirement, or a life-change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work of new phase poets often has stunning depth and perspective reflecting experiences accumulated from work and life. These poets might be classed among those who have been dubbed the 'lost generation of talent'. Abid Hussain, Diversity Director at the AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council), says: 'How many would-be working-class artists, artistic directors, choreographers, composers and curators decided to enter accounting, legal, medical and engineering professions instead?' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Alchemy Spoon\u003c\/strong\u003e aims to demonstrate that this talent was not lost but waiting for a reappraisal of priorities, an unleashing of latent creativity, waiting for its time. Hence the theme of this first issue was \u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly apposite with the extra time gifted to many during lockdown. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magazine appears three times a year as a print copy available through 'print on demand'.
