Lumpen Issue 6

Lumpen: A Journal of Poor and Working-Class writing is exactly what it sounds like. First hand accounts of lives on the rock face of austerity, critical assessments of the state of the left, the UK, and the international.

In this wintery edition, you’ll find texts that deal with topics ranging from the microaggressions that keep folk feeling small, to the explosive and conflicting relationship to identity, and the intersections between class, sexuality, gender, and race within that. There’s a dedication to someone who is no longer with us from one of our regular writers, and plenty of illustrations inspired by the texts.
