Welcome to Panorama‘s first Quarterly Issue. Our purpose is to shift the perspective of travel literature and imagery towards a more panoramic, modern worldview, and we have chosen the theme of firsts to take you on a revolutionary journey through travel-themed fiction, poetry, imagery, essays, and memoir.
...Panorama introduces the sixth issue of our weekly Sunday Magazine. With each edition, we curate a few works to bring you our world, through international and diverse writers and image makers, using travel-themed poetry, illustrations, nonfiction, fiction, and photography. This week, we’re pleased to introduce two new voices to you: one of our own emerging writers, Valerie Piro, who writes about Italian burrata in Brooklyn’s Chinatown for our Eaten series; and Tajik photographer Alovaddin Kalanov offers up his images of Tajikistan. We’re also featuring two poems, one by Irish poet Kathleen McCracken, and the other by American poet John Hicks.
...Welcome to Panorama’s second Quarterly issue. Panorama exists to not only publish extraordinary diverse travel literature and imagery, but to widen the definition of what travel is. This Quarterly explores the idea of ‘treasure’ through travel-themed fiction, memoir, essays, poetry, photography, and illustrations.
...“My first camera was a 21st birthday present from my father. Sometimes presents can be things that you don’t really like or want but I remember treasuring this. I remember taking some photos of the steep steps in Newcastle leading down to the quayside. At home, I made a picture of a floral patterned waste bin in a flowerbed. There was also one of my mum and dad in bed on Christmas morning. It didn’t come out quite right as the light got into the back of the camera and distorted the colours. That fascinated me. My father was drinking a cup of tea while my mother read from a book by Alison Uttley. My dad was half in and half out of the light.”
