Lucent Dreaming Issue 1

Dear Reader,
Letter from the Editor
Let me introduce you to Lucent Dreaming.
The copy of the magazine you see is our debut issue and we are
so delighted it has found its way to you.
Lucent Dreaming is a new independent creative writing magazine
publishing beautiful, strange and surreal creative work from
emerging authors and artists worldwide. We’re only just beginning
our journey but with your continued readership we hope it’ll be a
fantastically bold (and lucent) one.
There are so many humans I’d like to mention in this letter—so
many I’d like to thank—from our authors and artists, to everyone who
has helped us reached print, and of course the Lucent Dreaming team
who have put it all together.
This is my opportunity to profusely praise my extraordinary
and wonderful editors, Joachim Buur, Jonas David and Jess Beynon,
without whom Lucent Dreaming would still be an idea. They have given
so much of their time to me and to this magazine. You are witness to
their artistic, editorial and literary talents.
I also want to thank everyone who has submitted their work to
us over the last few months for our debut issue. It was a pleasure
reading it all and we look forward to seeing more! And, of course,
a huge thank you to our published authors and artists for trusting
your work to an unheard of magazine. May it do your art justice.
Countless others have helped us bring LD to life and you’ll find
many of their names at the back of this issue.
All gratitude aside, I sincerely hope you enjoy issue 1.
