Truth in advertising disclaimer: I have two pieces in this book.
Thought-provoking collection, and for me a satisfying read. This is a fund-raiser for the Gulf Oil Spill Relief Fund. All proceeds go to them. A worthy cause, and an interesting mix of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.

My poem, "Troubled Water", is the final selection in this marvelous anthology published to benefit clean-up efforts in the Gulf Coast following the BP disaster in 2010.
