Product Description
Product Description
Cities are as much collections of smells as they are collections of bricks: smells define them. From one block to another you can be overwhelmed by any number of odours: the garbage outside a busy restaurant, flowers on display outside a florist or freshly ground coffee as you meander past an open door to a café. Some city smells make you sigh warmly and think of old friends; others, like those that seep out of dank alleyways, make you skip a step and screw up your nose. Those of us that live in cities cannot avoid the olfactory messages that the streets bombard us with. Nor should we. This book is an international collection of poetry, fiction and non-fiction dedicated to celebrating the redolent urban bouquet. So take a deep breath, and enjoy this assorted mélange of City Smells.

Authentic Perspectives, 16 Jun 2009
By L. Joseph "Leslie Doll" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City Smells (Paperback)
City Smells is my favorite type of reading...a small press anthology full of diverse writing by real people. The uniting theme is smells...you can go anywhere from there! It's a satisfying read, and a reminder to find inspiration in even the most mundane experiences in life.

Something for everybody, 14 Jun 2009
By Alan Emmins "Author of 31 Days and Mop Men" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City Smells (Paperback)
'City Smells' is a collection of flash fiction, fiction, poetry and non-fiction all tied to the theme of the title. This is a great book, especially for dipping in and out of. The writers come from all over the world, and for that reason 'City Smells' is rich in its variety of writing styles and language, but, more than that, it takes the reader into a world diverse with smells and the many ways in which people live with and remember them.

An enjoyable anthology, 14 Jun 2009
By Alec Ross - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City Smells (Paperback)
City Smells is an anthology of flash fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction all based on a similar theme. The variety within this collection is exceptionally good, and I really enjoy the fact that the selections contained in this anthology are short--it makes for quick and easy reads while still remaining quite thought provoking. It's also refreshing to read so much material by several emerging writers. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something fresh and a little different.
