(South) (East) Asian authors with poetic prose
Most of what I read is either of the literary, fantasy or sci-fi genre so that's basically what this will be about. Additionally, please be aware, poetic prose implies narrative techniques and stylistic flair rather than actual poetic form.

Anthologies for all
I love anthologies. Short fiction curated around a theme or a collection by an author I like have been some of the most rewarding reading I’ve ever done. The following are some of my favorites, from sci-fi, to dystopian, to YA, with a few of my favorite short fiction collections from single authors in there as well (particularly those who’s work falls into the sci-fi, fantasy or speculative genres)
Work in Progress Suggestions welcome!
