Issue 9 of Overcom, a literary journal featuring work by queer writers and artists.
This queer literary journal draws on the spirit of Aotearoa’s fleeting summers: great-grandma’s bach, dense undergrowth, rain-soaked road trips, mosquitoes, werewolves, nosebleeds, exorcisms. Join us for chance conversations in the salon, sun nourishing the sage, fungi that bleed and skin that bleeds, sex without kissing, and ghosts in your throat. A sunflower paints its own portrait; a monster holds multitudes; a speck of glitter travels far. Play ‘I spy’ with Noah’s ark, pixelated sunsets, the rabbit in the orchard, and saplings in the sunlight. This is the summer you’ve yearned for.
