Reviews

'Hue & Cry’s new issue, Champion This!, is a delight and a pleasure to behold, skim, put down, and finally soak up from cover to cover.' – Pulp Magazine

‘It's an eclectic collection of work by poets, fiction writers, artists and photographers. Several are established writers ... As its minimalist design and sans-serif type suggest, Hue & Cry is more experimental than most other literary journals.’ – Otago Daily Times

‘Breakout star Eleanor Catton and Pip Adam provide perfectly formed short fiction.’ – Real Groove
