    <![CDATA[and, author, Elizabeth Ellen<br/><br/><br/>“The four brilliant chapbooks that make up <em>A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness</em> are disarmingly, unabashedly intimate collections by women who know how to tell a story and aren’t afraid to drag the unspoken out into the light of day.” — Pia Z. Ehrhardt<br/><br/>The four chapbooks collected in <em>A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness</em>, three of them finalists and one of them the winner of the Rose Metal Press first annual short short chapbook contest, all revel in the succinctness of their form, the underlying tension anchored beneath each story of 1,000 words or less. These stories are peculiar; they resonate with restlessness. They are deft, they are gritty, and they are lyrical. <em>Laughter, Applause, Laughter, Music, Applause</em> by Kathy Fish, <em>Wanting</em> by Amy L. Clark, <em>Sixteen Miles Outside of Phoenix</em> by Elizabeth Ellen, and <em>The Sky Is a Well</em> by Claudia Smith combine four multi-layered portrayals of beautiful uneasiness into a collection rich with wit, grace, and originality.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is great, both in premise and execution, providing you enjoy short shorts. The authors' work varies, but their contributions fit together quite well. I can't say who my favorite is, though Claudia Smith technically won the chapbook contest. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[and, author, Elizabeth Ellen<br/><br/><br/>“The four brilliant chapbooks that make up <em>A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness</em> are disarmingly, unabashedly intimate collections by women who know how to tell a story and aren’t afraid to drag the unspoken out into the light of day.” — Pia Z. Ehrhardt<br/><br/>The four chapbooks collected in <em>A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness</em>, three of them finalists and one of them the winner of the Rose Metal Press first annual short short chapbook contest, all revel in the succinctness of their form, the underlying tension anchored beneath each story of 1,000 words or less. These stories are peculiar; they resonate with restlessness. They are deft, they are gritty, and they are lyrical. <em>Laughter, Applause, Laughter, Music, Applause</em> by Kathy Fish, <em>Wanting</em> by Amy L. Clark, <em>Sixteen Miles Outside of Phoenix</em> by Elizabeth Ellen, and <em>The Sky Is a Well</em> by Claudia Smith combine four multi-layered portrayals of beautiful uneasiness into a collection rich with wit, grace, and originality.]]>

    <![CDATA[and, author, Elizabeth Ellen<br/><br/><br/>“The four brilliant chapbooks that make up <em>A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness</em> are disarmingly, unabashedly intimate collections by women who know how to tell a story and aren’t afraid to drag the unspoken out into the light of day.” — Pia Z. Ehrhardt<br/><br/>The four chapbooks collected in <em>A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness</em>, three of them finalists and one of them the winner of the Rose Metal Press first annual short short chapbook contest, all revel in the succinctness of their form, the underlying tension anchored beneath each story of 1,000 words or less. These stories are peculiar; they resonate with restlessness. They are deft, they are gritty, and they are lyrical. <em>Laughter, Applause, Laughter, Music, Applause</em> by Kathy Fish, <em>Wanting</em> by Amy L. Clark, <em>Sixteen Miles Outside of Phoenix</em> by Elizabeth Ellen, and <em>The Sky Is a Well</em> by Claudia Smith combine four multi-layered portrayals of beautiful uneasiness into a collection rich with wit, grace, and originality.]]>
