Creel 2: An Anthology of Creative Writing

by Elaine Ewart (Editor), Penny Simpson (Editor), Marieke Sjerps (Editor)

‘Creel 2’ is a unique collection of short stories and poems by postgraduate students from the University of Essex showcasing the varied approaches currently being undertaken by Essex students from all over the globe.

The Centre for Creative Writing offers a unique approach to the practice of writing, with an emphasis on experimentation. This strong tradition of innovation has been built over many years by writers from Ted Berrigan and Michèle Roberts to Ben Okri and Marina Warner, helping to define literature as we know it today.

The works are selected by Adrian May, Chris McCully and Philip Terry, and edited by Elaine Ewart, Penny Simpson and Marieke Sjerps. The introduction is by Matthew De Abaitua.

The book is published by Wivenbooks, the Wivenhoe Bookshop’s imprint, and has been beautifully designed by John Wallett. We are indebted to artist James Dodds for permission to use his linocut ‘Fish in a Basket’ as the cover image.
