Remnant
An Anthology of Microlit
In this anthology of microliterature over forty writers reflect on the theme of remnant in contexts ranging from the natural world and the urban environment through to the personal and the political. Each contribution, at less than a page in length, celebrates with concision and creativity the persistence of what’s valuable.
Remnant includes pieces by commissioned well-known writers from Australia and abroad as well as new voices unearthed through the national Microlit Award named in honour of experimental poet, joanne burns. Introduction by innovative writer and poet, Hazel Smith.
