The Minds Shine Bright Season series explore themes from the external environment. Each anthology features the winning and commended entries from the Seasons writing competition. In 2023 the theme for our first Seasons writing competition was Storm.
Storm
Storms: their destructive power and timeless beauty remind us of the fragility of existence and what it is to be human. Storms touch something elemental in us and also provide a powerful metaphor for internal conflict.
Embark on a journey where you will encounter stormy places, people and animals, as well as different worlds and possible futures.
