Today’s sharing from BIOPHILIA is the poetry of Catherine Graham. She has perfectly languaged the theme, blurring the lines between human and landscape. We enjoyed her piece incredibly, and if you like the excerpt, do come along and have a read on our website, wingedmoon.com/biophilia

So often, I create images that complement what I write. In this #poeticlibretto, the opposite happened. The words came after I created the #mixedmedia #art. I hope you enjoy this free #flipbook. #PoetsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyArtists #LewisCaroll #Jabberwocky anyflip.com/sdmnd/qwqe/

Does anyone have any good examples of polyphonic flash fiction / short stories (from several voices / perspectives) or flash that uses head-hopping / shifting perspective (like my piece in the link below)? Your own or others. Pieces that are freely available online. Thanks in advance!
