Jimmy Ovadia's art leads us on a transformative psychedelic odyssey full of unique and creative dreamlike portholes. It takes the mind through twists and turns perceived through levels of conciousness and mysticism. Born in San Diego, California, Jimmy's inspiration comes from unfeigned life experiences.

Watch this space for info on where Read This and the RT team are going to be in the near future...

We have a gig featuring our Ed-in-Chief Claire, and hopefully poetry ed Hayley Shields, coming up in October. Once we have all the details, we'll let you know where, when and how you can come along and get your hands on some copies of RT.

In the print issue...

RT9 promises to be our most star-studded issue ever, featuring a poem by the lovely Sarah Wardle, from her third, forthcoming Bloodaxe collection, A Knowable World. We'll also have poems from Bridport Prize and Eric Gregory Award shortlisted poet Russell Jones, and award-winning Canadian film-maker Luke MacLean. Flash fiction is provided by Edinburgh's own Nicholas Goodrick, and we have quirky, nostalgic poetry from Dawn Olmo and Chris Brooks. Artwork this issue is courtesy of Jimmy Ovadia.
