We are horrified by, and throw ourselves at, a volcano who will only spout when it wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie Lim's weather poems likewise draw out the mist and rain and thunderous turmoil in our hermetic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, in 'Charismatic', Hannah Fink takes us through Lucian Freud's art and life to reveal endless layers in both the paintings and the man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the new third series of \u003ci\u003eHEAT\u003c\/i\u003e was launched in physical form at the start of 2022, the world was just emerging from the worst of the pandemic, and our emphasis was on sending copies of \u003ci\u003eHEAT\u003c\/i\u003e directly into people's homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe accompanying design was deliberately minimal, in acknowledgement of readers who already had some familiarity with the magazine and its reputation. The cover of this issue, also designed by Jenny Grigg, is for a more open world, where a new reader can come across it on a shelf in a bookshop or lying on an armchair in the home of a friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur hope is that you will be welcomed in by its generous title and the writers' own words, and find what you've been looking for inside: writing that appeals to our interest in innovative and adventurous forms, and unfamiliar subjects, writing that asks something of us, gives something to us, and pushes us further into life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455583305964,"sku":"9781922725172","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/51JV7_Y50dL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774785072","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/heat-18-9781922725172","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
