note = "Mythologies: a Space for Words. Edited by Alexa Marie Russell, Kate Kennedy and Amina Alyal. Ever since Roland Barthes said that steak and chips mythologised Frenchness and that cars were the new Gothic cathedrals, the concept of myth has been peculiarly open to interpretation. The writers collected in this anthology give us timeless mythological topics like birth, death and relationships, animal-human shape-shifting, landscape and the seasons – but they do so in conjunction with very modern environments like festivals, the office and the cinema. By turns comic, tragic, celebratory or satirical, the stories and poems involve old favourites like Medusa and Persephone, and take us from the Vikings to China, via DC Comics and the T{\'i}r na N{\'O}gh. This is the fifth in the series of anthologies under the Wordspace imprint with Indigo Dreams, and contributors are all involved with Leeds Trinity University in some way – students, staff, alumni, visitors to the Writers{\textquoteright} Festival and performers at our Wordspace Open Mic. In keeping with tradition, it is edited by two MA students and members of the English Department. ",
