It's here!
Prole
up, Prole up! Issue 11 is now available from our website - subscribers'
copies were posted out this morning.As always it is packed with quality
and engaging short fiction and poetry. Also available is Sue Millard's
poetry pamphlet/chapbook 'Ash Tree':
Ash Tree is a poetic testament of love and grief; the journey of a grandchild's battle through cancer with grandmother as witness and chronicler. The poems touch on hope, anger, frustration, despair and love. Yet, the poet curbs sentimentality, resulting in writing that has a weight, balance and assurance that engages the reader.
In her forewod Gill McEvoy writes: It has been a privilege to be asked to write this short foreword: Millard has expressed Naomi’s story and her own feelings so strongly and so poignantly that I have felt deeply moved by this collection. I sincerely wish it and its publishers every success.
