The Journal of the Hydra Book Club Vol. 1

VOL 1. UTOPIA

The first edition of the new Journal of the Hydra Book Club, an annual printed edition of literature, criticism, and image.

The Journal follows the annual theme of the book club and engages with a range of writers, artists, curators, critics, and photographers both on and off the island of Hydra.

Hydra is a confluence of free thinkers and our goal with the journal is to mirror this confluence in its pages. The island is the model as we engage with writers and artists from around the world.

For the first edition of the Journal, we have challenged a diverse group of artists to reflect upon ideas of utopia. The result is fiction, poetry, essays, and image from:
