Overview

Only a poet of Braggs' talent and sensibility could bring us stories of such lively language and lost-and-in-love characters. He tells their truths but tells them at a slant that is joyful to read and heartbreakingly beautiful to apprehend.-Anthony Grooms, author of Bombingham and The Vain Conversation

Imagine a plot driven almost entirely by metaphor and cultural reference, and then imagine that plot extended by wordplay that unveils deep complexities of character, then you have begun to understand the unique artistry of Earl Braggs' amazing book of stories. ... The tension here, as in all these stories, is like the characters who, as he says in one story are 'trying to find balance on a slope"" or are like ""hands holding onto a kite string night."" Which is exactly how a master storyteller like Braggs wants to leave you, turning with every syllable to new perceptions and emotions.-Richard Jackson, author of Footprints and The Heart as Framed When language flows like water and stories form concentric circles, moving outward, character meeting character, lives overlapping, you have what Earl Braggs presents us in this gorgeous and unique collection. Each story becomes a sea of love, a sea of lives, a sea of our worlds converging, and it adds up to a voyage you won't want to miss.-Luanne Smith, editor of Muddy Backroads, and Taboos and Transgressions
