York Literary Review is an annual creative writing anthology from York St John University, designed to showcase diverse work from talented writers. This year’s edition is on the theme of ’spirit’, inspired by York’s rich ecclesiastical and ghostly history, but also the spirit of our inner selves; the determination, courage, and values that we hold.'Inside this anthology is a selection of poems, flash fiction, short stories and creative non-fiction pieces that show just how varied ’spirit’ can be. From mythology to real-life experiences, our authors have shared their unique creativity and allowed us to put another exceptional edition of this review into the world.'
