Recorded in collaboration with Speaking Volumes and using excerpts from their anthology, Not Quite Right For Us, we’ll hear ‘The Pilgrimage’ by Amina Atiq; ’Knot’ by Leonie Ross; and ’The Apocrypha of O’ by Gaele Sobott. Our guide is poet, novelist and musician Dr Anthony Joseph.

Celebrating ten years of Speaking Volumes, this anthology is a warning shot, an affirmation, an education

In forty short stories, poems and essays — by turns wry, gentle, furious, humorous, passionate, analytical and elliptical — these forty writers, new and established, speak volumes, invoking their experiences of outsiderness and their defiance against it.

The anthology is available at all good bookshops or on order from Flipped Eye Publishing.
