Small Wonder: Prose Poems and micro fiction

An anthology of prose poems and microfiction from 30 Australian writers. Prose poem or sudden prose? The line break takes a small and stealthy stroll through the streets and fields of prose at unexpected moments it breaks all the rules. Expect synergy. When jazz fuses with another music style new energy is released. When the cuisines of different cultures merge the combinations of flavors surprise and delight us. Another burst of energy comes from the integration of the work of so many emerging writers with the work of widely published and respected authors. Here are short and clever pieces by thirty contemporary Australian writers on topics ranging from the eroticism of mashed potato, parenting as magic realism, and a tongue-in-cheek history of the Cyclops bicycle. Each one is a creative blast straight from "brain stem to pen," with ideas and insights that will blow your mind. Includes award-winning writers Michael Farrell, Keri Glastonbury, Judith Beveridge, and Peter Boyle. Features prose poems and microfiction selected by competition judge, Joanne Burns. Cover design and evocative sketches inside by talented artist, Paden Hunter.
