Two readings which confirm that short fiction can reverberate beyond the confines of a few pages. The stories in Jane Feaver's collection, Love Me Tender, are set in a provincial town, where lives touch but do not connect - 'collapsible relationships are as common as markshift buildings in this collection' (The Guardian). Owen Sheers, drawn to the condensed nature of poetry (The Blue Book Skirrid Hill), has a gift for the evocation of passing moments. Jane Feaver's debut novel is According to Ruth. Owen Sheers' books include Resistance - a novel, and the non-fiction Dust Diaries.
