Orion II by Sarah Mills

By -
Orion, born of Euryale and Poseidon,
Could walk on waves to islands far
But a single sting stole his breath. 
Now his muscles are made of brightest star.

Fair Merope still loves the man
Who dared to attack Oenopion’s scion,
Still loves Orion
Even though now he does the heavens span. 

If only Zeus had refused to lift
The hunter to cerulean skies.
If only he had refused the gift
And Helios had not healed his eyes. 

If only loyal Cedalion had not guided the beast
To the oracle that bade him to uttermost east,
He would not stand for all to see,
Shining bright for eternity.

Jester & King by Salia Jansen

The jester mocks and tells his jokes, Whereas the king, he hears his word, And both they laugh ‘bout funny folks, Of braveries that they have heard. And while the king is entertained, The jester smiles and shakes his head, For he’s a jester, friend and saint, Forerunners told him who are dead. The king is lost, they start to sing, They swap the crown for hat with bell, Who jester is and who is king, The servants ask, they cannot tell. by Salia Jansen

Interview with Mary-Jane Holmes, of Fish Publishing

Sara: So you currently teach an online course in flash fiction writing run by Fish Publishing, which I’ve recently completed (and can whole-heartedly recommend!). Tell us a bit about the course and why you decided to set it up. M-J: The Flash Fiction course has been running since 2009 following demand from writers who wanted to explore the genre further but couldn’t find much guidance either online or through writing groups. At the time it was difficult to find workshops exploring Flash and few creative writing institutions offered a course solely dedicated to the medium. It caused a flurry of excitement when it was launched and since then has continued to be a very popular program. Sara: Flash fiction is an interesting form of writing, something of a ‘niche’ or minority form, which seems to be gaining popularity at the moment. Why do you think that is? M-J:   Many writers on the subject suggest that this form of fiction is enjoying resurgence and renewed ...

It's here again... the Cafe Aphra November Challenge!

Greetings all!  So this year we thought we'd do something a little different for our Cafe Aphra November Challenge... a touch of tongue-in-cheek, a pinch of parody, something to make us smile in these dark and shortening Autumn days. Ever wondered whether your favourite classic novel would get published nowadays?  Well now's your chance to write that imaginary rejection letter from the publisher sent to the author of a famous classic, explaining exactly why their manuscript is unsellable, unpublishable or unreadable.  Or, if you'd rather, you can try and 'pitch' your classic manuscript to a sceptical modern-day publisher and see what he or she has to say in response. It doesn't have to be long, and you can either make it obvious what the classic in question is, or you can keep us guessing. Perhaps this all sounds a little confusing... A parody of a rejection of a pitch?!  What on earth does that look like?? Well if you want...
