New Contexts - by Ian Gouge (Paperback)

About the Book

New Contexts: 8 gifts us widows onto our world; windows of different shapes and sizes, their glass stained in multifarious hues.

Book Synopsis

Although you might be tempted to group the subjects which preoccupy writers into broad categories - love, grief, war, nature and so forth - the truth remains that creative writing is triggered by an infinite variety of moments, thoughts, experiences. Not only do New Contexts' contributors immerse themselves in this bottomless pool of inspiration, they can also be relied upon to tackle depictions and interpretations of what they find in a myriad of ways.

New Contexts: 8 is no different.

Describing the volume as an anthology of poetry and prose might therefore be seen as belittling the achievements of the writers concerned. In fact, what they are gifting us are widows onto our world; windows of different shapes and sizes, their panes of glass stained in multifarious hues, embossed with designs ranging from the weird to the wonderful.

And because our readers come at the world through their own slant too, it is highly likely that you will find something here - either poetry or prose - which will strike you as 'just right'...
