The Talking Volume 22 published by the Jackpine Writers' Bloc out of Park Rapids Minnesota is a collection of poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction by Minnesota writers.
There are some very enjoyable poems and short stories in this collection. One of the things that struck me is how subjective "winners" in each category are no matter how good the judges might be. I found some of the non-winning fiction (I don't dare judge poetry!) better than the pieces selected as "winners". An ambitious effort from my friends over in northwestern Minnesota.
