Short, Shorter, Shortest

We bring three exponents of some of fiction’s shortest forms together to talk about chasing brevity and why they enjoy literature’s more petite spaces: Paula Morris (author of False River, a collection of short stories, essays and secret histories); Iona Winter, the Dunedin chair for National Flash Fiction Day (her first collection of poetry, short stories and flash fiction is called Then the Wind Came); and Michael Harlow, once described as “the maestro of the prose poem” (his latest collection is called The Moon in a Bowl of Water). Chair Maxine Alterio will find out whether size really matters.

Please note that space is limited so admission cannot be guaranteed.
