Shuffle celebrates
the theme of sound: from the streets of Rome at night; the personification of
ice cubes; David Bowie; Mad Max; a chainsaw; fish flops and tiny pikelets, to a
conversation through a thin wall; silence and sign language. The microlit
references sound in a plethora of unexpected ways; putting the short form under
pressure to showcase each writer’s unique abstractions.
'Songs, symphonies in
miniature, fireworks: Shuffle is a collection that enthrals, illuminates, and
moves to a magical — and often — cheeky beat.' — Nigel Featherstone, Bodies of
Men
'A collection that is evocative, vivid
and, above all, inspiring. This is a fantastic source book for new approaches
to form in the realms of both prose poetry and short short fiction.' — Ivy Ireland
