2013: Fire

Fire: New Writing II

Fire is the second anthology in the exciting New Writing Series, featuring the best prose and poetry from the Creative Writing programme at the University of Gloucestershire.  Edited by D.D. Johnstone, Tyler Keevil, and Lucy Tyler, Fire was the follow-up to Smoke, the hugely successful first volume, and features stunning cover art from Greg Farndon, and design work by Sean Strong.  Fire can be purchased directly from Amazon here.

George Bernard Shaw said that if more than ten per cent of the population likes a work of art, it should be burned.  Yet this new anthology of Creative Writing from the University of Gloucestershire contains something to excite everyong.  Still, before you burn Fire, note that the writers features inside take risks, break rules, challenge and provoke.  This is a collection to unsettle, delight, and surprise.  So go on: take a deep breath and step into the fire.
