Hello you lot. Some news! Issue 13 will be the last issue of bath magg. We want to say thanks to everyone who supported over the years. It’s been a beautiful journey but we’re tired and sad and it’s time for this chapter to close. Big love 🦆
In light of the passing of Gboyega Odubanjo, the magazine will hiatus. Our thoughts and prayers are with Gboyega’s family, friends and loved ones at this time.
Gboyega Odubanjo is our feature poet for issue 13. The issue will feature two poems from his forthcoming collection, ADAM, which will be published by Faber later this year. We love and miss our friend. We can’t wait for you to read the issue 🦆
