Abridged is an art/poetry initiative. Publishes periodically. Exhibits occasionally. Based in Derry but operates everywhere. You can email us at abridged@ymail.com or write to us at Abridged c/o Verbal Arts Centre, Stable Lane and Mall Wall, Bishop Street Within, Derry BT48 6PU. We also have a Facebook page – abridged zero-nineteen – which has continually updated news and a Twitter account – @abridged030 – on which we make the odd pronouncement.
