Featuring:
Steven Blyth, Helen Clare, Polly Clark, David Constantine, Matthew Francis, Sophie Hannah, John Latham, Joanne Limburg, Grevel Lindop, Roddy Lumsden, Ian McMillan, Sinead Morrissey, Sean O'Brien, Ruth Padel, Shenagh Ough, Joe Sheerin, Jean Sprackland, Anne Stevenson, Gerard Woodward and Cliff Yates.
Too often the short story is regarded as merely a poor cousin of the novel, a weekend break for novelists - an assumption that demeans the short and neglects the fact that it has an anatomy all of its own. This anthology is a one-off experiment to show how much the short has in common with a very different literary form, the poem. Established and award winning poets from around Britian and the UK have been asked to 'interlope' into the unknown territory of the short - most of them for the first time and each bringing with them a new, poetic perspective as well as an intuitive feel for the snapshot's hidden narratives.
