Curious writer. ‘Ephemeral City’ is out now. A box of stories and ephemera set in Brisbane across 80 years that can be read in whatever order you like.

So I'm excited to share that my project '_Prog[W]res[tle]s_' has been shortlisted for the 2024 Woollahra Digital Literary Award in the Digital Innovation category! This project tackles global crises [such as the USA post-election crisis] via a code-poetic approach.

Post-USA election, I'm doing a series about what I'm terming the 'Future Terro[i]r': 'View From the Backseat of the Future' is the first in the series [a three-layered mix of organic/Trumpian detritus merging into dust-storm-like landscapes + destroyed ecosystems]. https://www.patreon.com/posts/115499750

Can you launch a book months after its initial release? Of course you can. When you make books this weird, anything is possible and time is meaningless. There will be giveaways. And we’re making new pieces of ephemera just for everyone who attends the event. Book now: https://avidreader.com.au/pages/10391-SimonGroth-EphemeralCity #brisbane #books #booklaunch

State Library of Queensland asked me to contribute a new piece of short fiction inspired by an object in their collection so I wrote tiny little extension of Ephemeral City, a story of love and typography. https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/finders-keepers-simon-groth

State Library is filled with treasures and curios. In this new series, we invite authors to find an item in our collections and let it inspire them to write a new, original creative piece of work.

@saccades This is such a cool idea! Publishing a collection of ephemera is not something I ever even thought about, but I love the concept.

@RepresentativeSample Thanks! I’d had the story collection sitting around for years but it wasnt complete until the ephemera tied it all together.
