About After...

Art rarely exists in isolation. Writers, painters, musicians, filmmakers and other artists have always made work in response to what came before.

​

After... is a journal of poetry born from – and dedicated to – those connections.

​​

Each new and full moon, After... publishes one original poem inspired by another artist or work of art. The relationship might be obvious or barely visible: a direct response, a conversation, a borrowing, a departure, an argument or simply a spark.

​

Poems appear with short notes from their authors, giving an insight into the art or artist that inspired them.
