More info:

The authors navigate North Bridge as connector, communicator, or passageway, with works that criticise its links with colonialism, empire and industry; celebrate the bridge and the city; speculate on life in Auld Reekie (and alternate realities); or tell it how it is, as a woman, worker, visitor, or homeless person. Humanity, nonhuman experience, and emotional inner lives are explored from many angles, through this bridge that is a vital artery of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city.

Genres include historical, sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary fiction; poetry and experimental forms; memoir, visual art, a script and a game! Book cover design by Kezia Lewis.
