Writing to the Edge

"‘If the art of the short story is knowing what to leave out, what is the art of microfiction? The authors included in Writing to the Edge demonstrate many ways of making much from little. In pieces ranging in length from a few pages to a line or two, they intrigue, amuse, sadden and enlighten us in turn. Their carefully chosen words and striking images provide vivid glimpses into other lives, other places, other minds.’ EMERITUS PROF. ELIZABETH WEBBY AM ‘Here is tight, thoughtful writing that stays with the reader after the page is closed.’ SHADY COSGROVE ‘New voices, new ideas, refreshed old ones and all in degustation morsels to get those creative and imaginative juices flowing. There are terse epigrams full of resonance and affect, gnomish haikus of condensed truth, pithy aphorisms from Melbourne to Marrakesh, from Sydney to Paris.’ KATHLEEN MARY FALLON"
