Featuring work by 42 artists and writers, FULL BLEDE Issue Nine: The Cleave explores a contronym: a word which is its own opposite. Some contributors focus on that which comes together, others explore separation of what was once whole, and some puzzle through a conflation of the two discrete definitions. The issue launches in conjunction with the opening reception of Lauren Quin: If It Were A Snake It Would Have Bit Me.
