This Exquisite Topology a collection of happy abstractions

A project of Angry Gable Press (see other related projects).

About

7 members set this anthology as a Favorite.

Submitted works should be cast through the lens of joy, exploring deformations and reformations of new landscapes and environments, new worlds, new beings, new moments of singularity or multiplicity, new visions, new paradoxes, or a redressing of old ones. Happy endings are not a requirement, just an engagement with the notion of happiness and the concept of Topology, using a speculative approach.

Important: Open until filled.
