Guzzle's next chapter
Unravelling a common thread to uncover our next theme.
What springs to mind when you think of home? As children, many of us picture a detached house with four windows, a door, picket fencing, and maybe a bush or two. The sun shines and white fluffy clouds drift across a clear blue sky. As adults, the concept becomes a little more complex.
For me, 'home' is a muddled concept—spanning four cities, three countries, and countless addresses, from my grandparents’ house on the North Dublin coastline to my current flat in East London. In Guzzle, this theme recurs in each issue, with writers like Eoghan Flynn capturing the shared experiences of Irish expats in London and
uncovering the unlikely spaces that foster a sense of community. I have loved curating these pieces and I’m excited to unpack our notions of home in the next issue.Open Call: Issue Three
For the third installment, we’re seeking fresh takes on the topic of home—whether global, environmental, or domestic. Contributions could range from recipes that reconnect us with our roots to stories that challenge stereotypes around the idea. There’s also space to address the complexities, such as how economic and political uncertainties influence our sense of place.
