Footnote, No.1 – Peg by A.K. Blakemore
Release date: March 20, 2026
Footnote was conceived in 2024 as a journal for artistic exchange with the aim of fostering new connections between disciplines and approaches. In each issue, writers, photographers and artists are invited to respond to a central text, their responses forming an original, collective body of work.
In this issue:
For the central text of this, our inaugural issue, the poet and novelist A.K. Blakemore has written Peg, a hallucinatory story of mutation and decay. Blakemore’s style has been celebrated for its “animating tactility”; in a review of her award-winning first novel, The Manningtree Witches, the journalist Claire Allfree describes her writing as “lingering with almost wanton sensuality on taste, touch, colour and smell.” In Peg, Blakemore’s precise, visceral prose forms a rich source of inspiration for an original series of writing and artwork, and the atmosphere of her murky, unsettling story runs through the issue.
Featuring Jack Davison, Sarah Blais, Joe Cruz, Brian Dillon, Eley Williams, Eduard Sánchez Ribot, Nam Le, John Sunyer, Feargal Sharkey, Kevin Brazil, Joe Gamble, Daniel Benson, Mattia Balsamini and ‘Pemi Aguda.
