Publisher's Synopsis
Local and international writers converge to create emerge 19, a powerful anthology now in its 19th year, filled with intrepid and haunting stories. Explore a tiny universe within a shard of glass, find lullabies for insomniacs and follow the kidnapping of a magical cat. In this collection, you will find prose and poetry that lay new ground, whether it be uncovering hidden jawbones in walls, bearing witness to childhoods in raging war zones, or examining one's paradoxical relationship with aging parents. This is a meeting of stories; get lost in the voices and find yourself anew within these pages.CONTENTSChelene Knight - ForewordPOETRYAshley Hynd - Four poemsYong Nan Kim - My Year Without BooksJacqueline Willcocks - Two poemsCatherine Lewis - Two poemsSteffi Tad-y - Two poemsTara Borin - Pit KidCecil Hershler - Three poemsBarbara Carter - Tamarindo ConcertoB.
