WRITES OF PASSAGE

Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group – 2021 Anthology

Writes of Passage, an anthology by the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group, has been awarded First place in the BookFest Spring 2022 Book awards, anthology category.

Writes of Passage is a poignant collection of essays, poems and short stories.  It is a treasure trove of life’s altering events, those sudden perceptions that illuminate the moments that can change our lives. 

Moments like one family’s Thanksgiving, or a glimmer of a simple September yard clean-up, the flash of a game of Red Rover in the school yard, the aching hope of a child’s longing for a real birthday cake, or the transportive sound of the whir and click of two IVAC machines delivering life’s blood in a quiet hospital room.

The talented authors of the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group have delivered a courageous, humorous and emotional compendium of those moments in our lives that have the power to transform. 

Two of my works, The Wearin’ O’ the Green and The Tunnel are included in this book. 

I am proud to be a part of this award-winning anthology.
