In the Shimmering

"In the Shimmering," the title poem of this collection, describes a night of revelry in a dimly lit dance hall, and a dance hall, and a dancer whose grace and spectral beauty are difficult to forget, even after many years have passed.

That is the writer's object: to be remembered. Some stories shimmer and wink with delicate impressionistic images, while others capture the imagination with bolder strokes, but all will persist in the reader's memory. Submitted by break-out and established authors working in a variety of forms and genres, the prose and poetry collected here will surprise, delight, and stay with you long after you're finished reading.
