Description

Our lives flicker on the edge of darkness for our brief moment in the world before the mystery where we were birthed takes us back again. The elusive hope we nurture while we cast a shadow, is more certain than we imagine. In our anxiety about whether our lives will end well, we can overlook the fact that our simple presence on the earth is unfathomable miracle, and that a life well lived is not about its end. Indeed, the most uncertain aspect of life on earth is whether it has an end at all. Even our beginning remains an enigma to us. We aren't here long at all before we've totally forgotten our birth. In our hearts, we might have been here forever. Here are eighteen stories exploring the ongoing miracle of life (and death), offered to remind the reader that ordinary is merely the illusion we foster to shield ourselves from the constant unbearable onslaught of glory.

Author Biography:

Henry Mitchell is the author of four novels, The Summer Boy, Between Times, Laurel Falls, and Slick Rock Creek, as well as two short story collections, Dark on the Mountain and Early Dark. Before he began writing fiction in his seventies, he worked for fifty years as a sculptor and painter. Mitchell lives in Saluda, North Carolina with his wife, Jane Ella Matthews, a Feldenkrais practitioner. Currently, he is working on a fifth novel, tentatively titled, The Winged Child. He says he will retire from writing fiction on his eightieth birthday and become a poet.
