Scars

This year's anthology of Australian microliterature from Spineless
Wonders explores the theme of scars-how they mark us, how they mark the world
around us, and the intriguing stories that they tell. From healing the scarred
remains of an abandoned mine, to a kidney making peace in its final moments, to
a concussion that sparks a supernova, each little story has a little something
for everyone.


Edited by Cassandra Atherton with a Preface by Gabrielle Fletcher,
the anthology includes pieces by commissioned Indigenous and non-Indigenous
writers as well as finalists in the 2019 joanne Burns Microlit Award. Featured
authors Raelee Lancaster, Paul Collis, Brenda Saunders, Steve Kinnane, Sam
Wagan Watson, Benjamin Laird, Judith Crispin, Jessica Wilkinson and Shady
Cosgrove.
