New team member alert 📢 We're ecstatic to have the talented @lucillemonaling join us as a guest graphic designer for issue 7! She's a Glasgow-based German-Chinese poet and graphic designer, and as a past contributor, we know she'll get the spirit of Middleground just right 🥰

Amazing to see past contributor @nasimrasl included in this, along with the fantastic @CarminaPoetry (whom we're a big fan of)! This promises to be an incredible anthology 🎉
