Firstly, thank you to Hillfire press for gifting me a copy of this anthology for an honest review.
Made up of poems and short stories, Hillfire Press have created this annual collective celebrating the joy of writing as an art form. Each piece of work holds its own unique story, each important as the last. Some are personal, important, environmental, mythological… and some read like an episode of black mirror (my favourites). Whatever you’re into this anthology has a story for you.
I love when people work together to amplify each other’s voices and support and encourage each other’s artform. This anthology is just that, and I can’t wait for the next one.
