140 Characters
Simon Sylvester’s “140 Characters’ is a vibrant and exciting collection of Twitter poetry from a debut author. Strictly adhering to the 140 characters or less rule applied on Twitter, Sylvester takes the reader to worlds that are both funny and sad, touching and terrifying. Witness the worlds of prom queens and bin men, of Sherlock Holmes and Noddy, of Glasgow and Colditz, of extinct bees and Catherine wheels. Go read it. Then go tweet about it.

It’s also so funny that some in the audience were literally shouting with laughter.”
**** Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
“One of the leading lights of a vibrant, young Scottish literary scene. He’s also, it turns out, a pretty fine performer.”

“By playing it fearlessly straight, Bissett makes for the most believable of neighbourhood gossips.”
