A fairly well done anthology with storms of some kind as the running thread. Short stories, poetry and imagery made for an interesting combination but my overall enjoyment was slight. I thought some of the short stories wordy and obvious, my favorite being "The Wait" by Farah Ghuznavi. I'm also discovering I like the idea of poetry with it's sparsity of words and it's imagery more appealing than the reality. Though I quite enjoy Haiku. My favorite of the poems was "Tornado Brewing" by Carol Alexander, I think due to childrens viewpoint. The included imagery was, sadly, hard to enjoy on my first generation nook. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This was a book that I could not get into. I read a few stories and I could not get interested. I am also not a big poetry reader and there are some mixed in. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This seamlessly edited anthology has something for every discerning reader. From well-crafted, various forms of poetry to short stories ranging from magical realism to ethnic fiction to SF, these pieces have been carefully chosen to mesh together smoothly and subtly from one to the other. The quality and range is fantastic. The storm metaphor is utilized in unexpected and clever ways. I enjoyed it thoroughly- very highly recommended. no reviews | add a review
Storms can come out of a clear blue sky, or they can build over a long period. They can take many forms, all terribly destructive: a tornado or hurricane that destroys all your belongings, an abusive spouse who destroys your sense of well-being, or human actions that can devastate an entire society. In this collection of short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and images, you will find the range of approaching storms, and the range of emotions involved in such cataclysmic events. Within these pages you will find Mother Nature on the warpath in the form of tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and vengeful plants. You will find storms approaching in the form of an abusive spouse, a fed-up spouse, and the down-trodden. You will find murder and suicide. But, as is always the case after a storm passes, you will also find life beginning anew. No library descriptions found. |
