Memory As Muse: Then and Now
What will you discover in this collection of 84 memories and life stories? Examples of personal essay — including hermit crab and epistolary forms — narrative poetry, creative nonfiction, flash and micro memoir that run the shocking, enchanting, inspiring, laugh-out-loud funny, tear-producing, and wonderfully wise.
Writing is how we preserve the stories of our lives, and everyone has stories worth preserving — for family, friends, and posterity. Between 2015 and 2022, the 36 contributors gathered in one or more small groups of 8 to 12, in-person and online, called Wild Show Up & Write! All levels of experience were, and are, welcome. In 2022, it became clear that publishing this collection was the best way to recognize and celebrate the tremendous dedication and growth of these writers.
As you dip in and out of Memory as Then and Now , you will experience and perhaps resonate with a brief scene or narrative from someone's childhood, young adulthood, midlife, or beyond. Each one is a mini portrait of a person and their environment, often revealing a change in understanding or belief, in addition to a change in circumstance — between then and now.

What a splendid work!
I am blessed to know one of the authors whose work is highlighted in this book. I expected that I would enjoy her work. I had no idea how much I would enjoy the works of her fellow authors. I recommend this book without reservation. I know you will enjoy it.
