In the first volume of Ellipsis, ten poems by RUTH VALENTINE visit disparate landscapes from the Sussex Downs to the streets of Baghdad; in each setting historical voices are rescued from silence. FRANCES GAPPER’s flash fiction explores the interstices of language and memory through a fleeting host of characters, including a fox who marries a man, a gatecrashing hermit and an airborne pig. The six stories by BETHAN STEVENS have six cities as their backdrops, from Bogotá to Paris, each one acting as a catalyst for narratives of inner adventure and understated magic.
