By Anna Johnson, Editor
This anthology of poems and short stories is the result of a writing competition Patrician Press ran in 2016. The entries were judged by Joceline Bury, Anna Johnson, Emma Kittle-Pey and Petra McQueen.
The short-listed works, including that of the winner, Penny Simpson, are now published in the anthology. Further contributions from Patrician Press and other authors are as follows: Mark Brayley, Wersha Bharadwa, Emma Kittle-Pey, Petra McQueen, Suzy Norman, Robert Ronsson, Anna Vaught, Kenneth Steven and more. Some of the latter works are much more loosely connected to the original themes.
Quotes and comments are being provided by George Szirtes, the Bishop of Barking and Robert McCrum.
The collection is edited by Anna Johnson who has also written the introduction.
An offering from any proceeds will be made to:
