Synopsis
A car roared past on the road behind, bare arms of topless boys dangling and waving from the open windows as a pulse of music drummed out and faded along with the engine. I imagined one day Jonty would do things like that too. --From Natalie Holborrow s winning story, 'The Bees' This anthology showcases the winning and commended work from the Robin Reeves Prize for Young Writers 2015, an award established by the Welsh Writers' Trust to highlight the young voices emerging in Wales's vibrant literary scene. Writers aged 17-24 were invited to submit pieces about transcending traumas, and the words in these pages are powerful, enthralling and honest. From the plight of Welsh mining towns to the dramas of domestic life, this collection of fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction provides a dynamic insight into what it means to overcome cultural, social and personal adversity. With a foreword by Somerset Maugham Prize winner Mark Blayney and Judge's Report by Dylan Thomas Prize winner Rachel Trezise.
