The challenge: to notice one thing properly every day during January ’11, and to write it down.
The result: more than 350 people across the world paying more attention to what was around them, and writing small stones. The birth of a new community of daily writers. A new movement - a river of stones.
This book contains a selection of these engaged moments, written both by experienced poets and complete beginners, and a guide to writing your own small stones.

This is an amazing project organized virtually by Fiona Robyns. Hundreds of authors contributed to this book. No matter where you open it or when, something of value, an inspiration, a poetic stone, the piece of a song, a memory, will fall out of it for you to take into your day. Enjoyed.
A brilliant project and it's great to have it in print. These tiny fragments of daily writing range from the purely observational to the profound to the rather silly (my own piece written in Klingon probably being the silliest!). There is a kind of quiet fascination in reading through this collection of the tiny moments that people have taken the trouble to observe and to write about. It's a tribute to the editors' vision that this should be such an interesting and appealing book.
