Hue & Cry is a Wellington-based art and literary journal. Increasingly recognised as a distinctive voice in the New Zealand art and literary scene, the journal exists to promote emergent artists and writers, and to encourage communication within and between the art and literary communities throughout New Zealand. Offset printed, we take a curatorial approach to contributions as a whole, organising the journal as an aesthetic space. In August 2012, Hue & Cry launched a publishing arm, Hue & Cry Press.
Hue & Cry is published and edited by Chloe Lane, with Lawrence Patchett as literary co-editor and Andrea Bell as art editor, and designed by The International Office.
Chloe Lane earned her MFA in Fiction at the University of Florida. She is also a graduate of the International Institute of Modern Letters at Victoria University of Wellington, and the founding editor of Hue+Cry Press. The Swimmers is her first book.
This is another wonderful issue from Hue and Cry. It is a well presented journal, I never really got used to the lovely thick paper that sadly lessened the reading experience for me. Highlights for me were Mark Blaine, with 'The Gambler', this story very quickly took me into many dingy pubs. I also enjoyed poetry from Lynn Davidson, Sue Wootton and Amy Brown and I really really liked Laurence Fearnley's excerpt from her book 'Hut Builder', it is now on my to-buy list.
