This issue of Peninsula is the second in a new series of anthologies produced annually by postgraduates from Durham University's English Department.

Having spent the better part of a year studying via Zoom, this collection presents a broad scope of creative output that can be achieved during the pandemic. Peninsula showcases an extraordinary dedication to the art of writing, and a sustained passion for the possibilities of language.

This collection is a map of the creative journeys of a group of unique and ambitious emerging writers, whose mututally supportive community has inspired an array of unforgettable prose and verse.
