Max's Story

Time to rebuild

Following a suicide attempt in London, diagnoses of adult ADHD and complex PTSD, award-winning poet, writer and journalist Max Wallis looked to create a literary magazine that celebrates new and established voices looking at the aftershocks of experience.

“After almost dying, there was only one option in front of me: to survive. But not just that, I had to thrive. This is a celebration of that. It is my manifesto for living. We strive. And we will thrive.” Max Wallis, October 2024
