Let Me Tell You a Story: Short Fiction & Poems With Their Own Soundtracks

In this ground-breaking literary project, award-winning authors from Europe, Asia and Africa read for you their own stories and poems; some set in contemporary realism, others in science fiction, fantasy, or disturbing inner worlds. They explore themes of relationships, disability, loss and vengeance with insight & often a good twitch of humour. Scan the qr codes to listen while you read, to hear the rhythms, the tumble of words in a hurry, the spaces where silence does its best work. The Foreword is by Ian McMillan - poet, broadcaster, and presenter of BBC Radio Three's The Verb who has his own unique, pint-of-beer-in-a-dimpled-glass Yorkshire voice. Contributors include Anne O'Brien, Phillippa Yaa de Villiers, Nguyen Phan Que Mai, Tracy Fells, Lyn Jennings, Suzanne Conboy-Hill.
