I bought this the same day that I bought The Tradition. Marvelous writer!

[Nic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay, in the interest of full disclosure, I have 2 Flash Fiction pieces in this volume so I'm a very biased reviewer! However, I can tell you that readers agree this edition is much darker than last years, with more stories and poems going darker places. Work by Judy Geraci and Scott Barbour particularly stand out as poignant and original, as do several poems.

A Year In Ink is published annually by San Diego Writers Ink, a nonprofit I'm involved with so purchasing this volume helps us continue to create a vibrant, inclusive writing community. Copies can be bought at www.sandiegowriters.org
