Shuffle - An Anthology of Microlit (Paperback)

From vomiting revellers to peripatetic snorers, from Bowie to Puccini and from leaf blowers in suburbia to souvenir snatchers at the Berlin Wall - this anthology by Australian authors explores the multifaceted theme of sound. Edited by Cassandra Atherton and featuring award-winning Australian authors such as Jill Jones, Geoff Page, Jordie Albiston. Includes winners and finalists from The joanne burns Microlit Award. Songs, symphonies in miniature, fireworks: Shuffle is a collection that enthrals, illuminates, and moves to a magical - and often - cheeky beat. So wondrous it deserves to be both devoured and savoured. NIGEL FEATHERSTONE, Bodies of Men With fish flops, white-noise, inner birds and outer brick grinding, Shuffle is a tiny aural feast: very short bite sized courses for the eyes and ears, layering sound upon silence to produce 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 CASSANDRA ATHERTON is an award-winning writer, academic and critic.
