Cities are as much collections of smells as they are collections of bricks: smells define them. From one block to another... More > you can be overwhelmed by any number of odours: the garbage outside a busy restaurant, flowers on display outside a florist or freshly ground coffee as you meander past an open door to a café.

Some city smells make you sigh warmly and think of old friends; others, like those that seep out of dank alleyways, make you skip a step and screw up your nose.

Those of us that live in cities cannot avoid the olfactory messages that the streets bombard us with. Nor should we.

This book is an international collection of poetry, fiction and non-fiction dedicated to celebrating the redolent urban bouquet. So take a deep breath, and enjoy this assorted mélange of City Smells. < Less

Can you hear them? They’re everywhere. Voices that can’t be contained by the... More > boxes around our work, our homes, our families. Voices that shine through the cracks in our everyday lives. Voices with tales to tell.

Gathered here are 20 unique tales liberated from niches and crannies around the world. Tales of tragedy and comedy, of loss and salvation. Tales of our shared, common experiences and the magic they hold within. < Less

The general consensus in the world of publishing is that people don’t want to read poetry anymore. Publishers have... More > canonized dead poets.

Meanwhile, the new poets, the new voices have been stifled, reduced to a muffled cry from beyond the catacombs. They are screaming to be unearthed.

These poets scream in this anthology. < Less
