'What’s possible? What’s impossible? Where do we draw the line between the two? Welcome to Issue 23, where we venture into the realm of the im/possible. Within the virtual pages of this issue, you will discover works which contemplate the world around us and those which recreate the world anew; works which highlight moments of im/possibility in the everyday, and those which render the everyday itself in terms that might be deemed im/possible.' (Editorial introduction)

'Fill-in-a-form scenario: participant / candidate / patient / applicant / member’s full name. They’re anal about it. You can’t sweep a chunk of identity under the carpet because your middle name makes the whole thing stutter. So, you go on and stutter along with the boxed-in letters and print your full name in.'
