Ford City Anthology

by D.A. Lockhart (Editor)

The essays in this anthology explore the manner in which writers construct their literary worlds of poetry, science fiction, and fiction. This work comprises the grassroots level of writing, the heart and soul of the writing world, and illustrates the way that writing and style organically grows from the work writers do. From the use of violence in fiction, to the importance of witness in poetry, to world bulding, to the manner in which gender places a critical role in the writing craft, there is a breadth of experience and concepts critical to anyone engaged in the field. Learn about craft and style from fresh voices in the field that represent those writers that are driving the work that appear in small mags, literary presses, and graduate programs all over North America.
