Emerging writers join prize-winning authors in this Brussels-based literary grimoire. But rather than a book of instructions on how to create magic, it’s a collection of poems and short stories that capture it: loves’ first stirrings and silent, final struggles; the ferocity of war and how our memories alter it; dreams never realized; losing one’s self in the awesomeness of nature. Timeless tales will surprise and delight, ground-breaking poems will charm, inspire and renew.
‘The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.’ – W.B.Yeats. The Brussels Writers’ Circle invites you to sharpen your senses and enter the world of magic within The Circle 19: a Brussels Anthology.
