It’s still, so still a siren floats for miles
from edge of town to fields that dust the moon.

Little Piece of Harm is a narrative sequence by Chris Jones that focuses on 24 hours in the life of a city that has been shut down in the aftermath of a shooting. As this act of violence ramifies outwards, the sequence explores the geographical reach of Sheffield – its urban settings and its rural landmarks – and eavesdrops on the city’s conversations. Longbarrow Press is delighted to announce the publication of Little Piece of Harm on 25 March: click here to pre-order the pamphlet. ‘Story Arcs and Safety Nets’, the first of three essays reflecting on the development of Little Piece of Harm, appears here. You can read a poem from the sequence here. Little Piece of Harm is launched with a Zoom event at 6.30pm on Wednesday…
