A LITERARY IMPULSE QUARTERLY E-BOOK
Andoumboulou and Vorfreude - Final Selection
An Anthology of amazing pieces by some very talented writers
Hello Medium Community,
We hope you all are safe and have been taking care of yourself and your near and dear ones.
Firstly, we were so overwhelmed with the response we received for our second foray into prompts territory on Medium with Andoumboulou and Vorfreude. We have received over 20 beautiful pieces and we cannot be thankful enough to all of the contributing authors from across Medium, who spent their valuable time painting such beautiful words around these topics. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Trust me, it was a very difficult affair for us to select only ten among the hugely talented writers who put their hearts into these submissions. So, pardon us if we have not selected yours for the e-book and, by all means, try us again!
I feel any piece, whether poetry/fiction/CNF, attains an altogether different level in conjunction with a spellbinding illustration. This anthology wouldn’t have been complete, or have looked this gorgeous, but for the exemplary artwork by an amazing artist, Lubna Yusuf. The effort she has put in, using her trademark line drawings, is beyond amazing. When we first saw it, we were literally blown away. We cannot wait for everyone to see how gorgeously she has enhanced each of the pieces with her magical illustrations. For now, feast your eyes on the cover art above.
Thank you so much, Lubna, for taking time out of your busy schedule to work with us on this anthology. It means a lot!
Work is in full swing on the nitty-gritty of putting it all together.
We plan to release the anthology on Gumroad in mid-March.
Finally, here is the list of arresting pieces we selected for our upcoming e-book.

We, at Literary Impulse in association with Paper Poetry, another beautiful Medium pub, have been running a prompt, on this gorgeous word — Eudaimonia.
