Solstice Shorts Festival: Poetry

The Solstice Shorts Festival celebrates the winter Solstice, (21st December, the shortest day of the year) and Short Story Day with Time themed short stories, poems and music.

This year the theme is SHORTEST DAY. Writers and musicians were asked to provide work to theme and then were invited to respond to each other. This years Shortest Day theme mirrors last years Longest Night and keeps it short with flash fiction and poetry and song.

In addition to the all-new poetry and fiction, and the folk songs, we have two newly written songs with music supplied in response to the words, one set of new words set to a traditional tune, and a traditional tune for a story too.
