Book synopsis

"Here are short and clever pieces by thirty contemporary Australian writers on topics ranging from the eroticism of mash potato, parenting as magic realism and a tongue-in-cheek history of the Cyclops bicycle. 'The fusion of poetry and prose has created a feast for our literary taste buds. Expect synergy.' Julie Chevalier, an editor of Small Wonder. Prose poems and microfiction appeal to people don't have the time to read War and Peace. They appeal to people who need an instant blast of colour before hurrying off to a packed day. Microfiction distills elements of narration into, in this case, a snappy 800 words. It's a short story that's jumped out of a plane and is counting the seconds until the parachute opens. Prose poetry looks like a squared off paragraph but feels like a burst of fireworks. It crafts language into a surrealistic surprise, without line breaks. "
