Love love love the curation in this anthology. It reads like it was done with the best of intentions and attended to with lots of care.

I thoroughly enjoyed every story in the fiction section and even though some were more memorable than others, there was something significant about each one. 

I have mixed feelings about the poetry,  nonfiction and notable mentions sections because some of the pieces were a straight up hit or miss. Other than that, the ones that banged took no prisoners.

Would highly recommend to everyone seeking to discover great quality literature by writers whose work are yet to go viral. Can’t wait to see what some of these writers get up to in the near future.
