'Rain-dancers, beggars, witches, artists and kings are released from their seething cauldron of everyday ingredients to transform into a banquet of stories and poems. Lose yourself in fact, fiction and fantasy, from the passionately personal to the darkly disturbingly. Journey with our community of writers as they wander through a blasted heath, survive in an isolated outback Australian town in the 1950s, weep in central Java, take part in Group Therapy, live through a Not so Happy Hour in a retirement village, and, along with Pablo Picasso, consider aspects of the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Trickles of Consciousness is an anthology of poems and prose by fourteen members of the Murwillumbah Creating Writing Group.' (Publication summary)
