Out of Place

In Spineless Wonders' latest collection of micro-lit, Australia's best micro-wordsmiths have produced writing which reflects on dislocation - in space, time, feeling, psyche and memory. Here are big stories rendered in miniature and fleeting moments captured with elaborate focus. Hand-picked by Berkeley-based, Stella Prize co-founder, novelist and micro-lit aficionado, Kirsten Tranter and micro-lit series editor and self-confessed prose poem tragic, Linda Godfrey, these journeys-in-words will take you somewhere surprising. Humorous, weird and breathtaking - these stories will sweep you up, shake you, stir you and set you down again, newly out of place.
