From the Publisher Thi is Suitcase Press's first anthology and was two years in the making. We took great care to get as wide a range of themes and styles as possible from as many talented UK black/Asian writers as we could. It provides a good picture of the many concerns and passions of the writers. We saw the theme 'hair' as smiliar to Blake's 'grain of sand'. It's only hair, and yet what amazing worlds can be discovered by contemplating our relationship with it. ISBN 1-905778-01-5 1905778015. Used: Acceptable.
