| More About This Edition... In this collection of fiction and poetry from Spring 2003, you will find my story, Seven Sketches for Papa, which became a skeleton for, and the core of my novel, On Brigden Road. With this story, I won the honor of their Charles B. Wood Award for Distinguished Writing. (A lovely review, from the contest judge, is here.) They were very sweet to me. This story falls out in a series of small poetic installations, which I had set off with the rudimentary symbols available on my wordprocessor. Is there any special symbol you'd like? they asked. Well, I had always been dreaming of a leaf. Like in the classic books, in the old belles-lettres... Well, (I felt shy), I was dreaming of a leaf, I said. You can have a leaf! they said. We have a leaf! So, you can have one too. $13 and this small sweet gem is yours. Signed by the author, yours truly, me. Only limited copies left.=) Price, Shipping & Handling...
