Ricochet

Dive into the dynamic world of the Ricochet microliterature anthology, in which brief and powerful pieces capture moments of sudden redirection. The words in this collection bounce off one another or follow tangents enabled by simile and metaphor, creating unexpected meanings and emotions and there's also a selection of ekphrastic works responding laterally to artworks and other objects. These works will inspire you with their glimpses of human complexity, their slant notions and fragmented perceptions, and their provocations, surprises and playful twists.

Join us as we explore how the smallest works are able to resonate profoundly, ricocheting through the mind long after the final word.

Co-edited by renowned experts in microlit and prose poetry, Cassandra Atherton and Paul Hetherington and with contributions from international authors as well as finalists in the joanne burns Microlit Award.
