The Burning Sand is a bi-annual prose, poetry and art magazine, featuring creative and critical writings and drawings from artists, musicians and writers involved in the unique and largely self-initiated arts infrastructure in Glasgow. Edited by Glasgow-based writer and curator Sarah Lowndes and designed by Sophie Dyer and Maeve Redmond, the magazine means to plough the furrow of Critical Regionalism.
