A Certain Kind of Freedom: Stories and Poems from The Writer's Drawer

by Beryl Belsky, Beryl Belsky (Editor), Lenora Genovese (Illustrator)

Overview

This anthology features the work of 33 talented new writers, representing almost all parts of the globe. Their pieces have been selected from the intercultural, literary showcase The Writer's Drawer (www.thewritersdrawer.net), run by academic editor and writer Beryl Belsky. The stories and poems in the anthology reflect not only literary merit but also the multicultural nature of the website and its contributors. The book is divided into three parts: Short Fiction, Stories from Life and Poetry. The Stories from Life, in particular, provide a fascinating look at the cultural mores and religious rituals of the countries of the writers. The book is an ideal gift for lovers of all genres of writing and for those who enjoy literature from different cultures. Its mix of cultural-specific and universal themes makes it an excellent tool for teachers to use in the classroom, too. Dip into a story or poem before sleep, in a coffee shop or during a trip.

About the Author
