Lit Crawl: Rejectamenta

Rejection makes you stop in your tracks. No sooner do your eyes trace over the words: I am writing to inform you… Then your heart sinks, your eyes well with tears, the piece of paper falls to the floor and you curl up into a little ball because rejection S.T.I.N.G.S. In the name of rejection, editors Emma Barnes and Pip Adam have collated an online exhibition 'Rejectamenta' which features writing which has been rejected for publication, along with imagined and creatively written rejection letters. The works are being showcased as part of 'LitCrawl' , a spoken word festival taking place on the 15th November in Wellington. Sonia Sly reports.
