Discover how different writers interpret light and shadow in their stories and poems. Light and Shadow anthologyis sublimley dark and light with moments of illumination. Everyday life is shown to be complex and beautiful, with touching, fragile and humourous moments as we navigate the darkness and encounter danger.

Light and shadow is the second anthology in Minds Shine Bright’s Seasons series featuring the shortlisted writers and poets from the Minds Shine Bright international creative writing competition.
Light and Shadow is curated into sections that explore different effects of light and shadow. ‘Images’ features writing that is extraordinarily visual, reading this section is like browsing through a photo album. ‘Pleasure and pain’ is about our desire to connect as social beings and the light and shadow in each of us, from the danger and darkness of predatory and destuctive behaviour and its consequences to the joy, insight and lightness that human connection, imagination and the natural world can bring. ‘Moonlight’ takes us to the moon, the stars and beyond to explore light and shadow in space. ‘Electric light, smoke and mirrors’ explores light and shadow indoor settings from the neon of shopping centres to the bedside lamp in a suburban home. These stories capture the essence of daily life and from challenges distil funny, touching and memorable moments. ‘Dawn to Dusk’ stories and poems feature light and shadow and the landscape and the vibrant shifts and changes as shadows shorten and lengthen as the sun rises and sets
Light and Shadow is a powerful collection of stories and poems for our times—an antidote to hype and oversimplification.
