Glotta #2 Hydra Island

Published by Hydra Book Club, an independent book shop and publisher based on the artistically-inclined Greek island, Glotta is the latest addition to their growing literary collection. Positioned as ideal beach reading—to later be reflected upon in the colder winter months—the journal takes its name from the Attic word ‘Glotta’ (meaning ‘the physical tongue, but also language’) and nods to the island’s namesake, the mythical Greek serpent and polyglot Hydra. Primarily duotone, inside you’ll find essays, fiction, and imagery related to three key themes, drawing on both past and present, reflecting the founder’s belief that ‘the subterranean rivers of history flow closer to the surface than might initially appear.’
