If you are interested in work in progress  you can check out On The Move:
Mobility and Identity, which is being prepared also with the use of
photographs, poems and even short stories. The work does not only have a
postcolonial focus, although it is its important part, as postcolonial meets
'post-communist' and 'Western' (for lack of a better word)... and 'other'.

There are samples of over 20 contributions online at www.write-on-line.co.uk
(once inside go to Works, then Non Fiction) and there are over 10 other
works to come, before the project hits the print. Comments welcome!
