The Battered Suitcase was a periodical of new literary fiction short stories, poetry, lyrics, and artwork. An independent arts and literary journal, the "Suitcase" ran from 2008 to 2011, and featured up and coming authors such as Ethel Rohan, Vincent Zandri, Louise Beech. It also featured poetry from a wide variety of modern poets, like Clint Catalyst, Ben Heins, and Kristin Ong-Muslim.


Unlike more academic publications, The Battered Suitcase also integrated work from the indie music world, publishing lyrics from independent music artists like Moist Bamboo and Adam Franklin-Williams (of Toy Horses), singer songwriter Adam Ficek (of Babyshambles), and Paul Jarvis (of Slab!). Interviews with alternative music performers explored the literary roots of their work, with in-depth features with ground-breaking artists like Amanda Palmer and Kieran Leonard.


"I loved loved it. It was like a cool version of the Paris review." - Lucie Barât, Singer, Songwriter, Actor
