Anthologies
| Reckonings
The fifteen Native women writers in Reckonings
document transgenerational trauma, yet they also celebrate survival.
Their stories are vital testaments of our times. Unlike most
anthologies that present a single story from many writers, this volume
offers a sampling of two to three stories by a select number of both
famous and lesser known Native women writers in what is now the United
States. Here you will find much-loved stories, many made easily
accessible for the first time, and vibrant new stories by well-known
contemporary Native American writers as well as fresh emergent voices.
These stories share an understanding of Native women's lives in their
various modes of loss and struggle, resistance and acceptance, and rage
and compassion, ultimately highlighting the individual and collective
will to endure against all odds.
Reckonings
features short stories by: Paula Gunn Allen, Kimberly M. Blaeser, Beth
E. Brant, Anita Endrezze, Louise Erdrich, Diane Glancy, Reid Gómez,

"Wherever I go, when away from home, I always have a notebook with me
so that I can capture phrases or ideas which I’ll possibly use later in
my fiction or poetry. One such phrase came to me on a streetcar on my
way home from work – “the closets of time”– and it resonated with what
I was reading – the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The phrase stayed with me
for the rest of the day, until late evening, when it gave birth to the
idea behind this anthology.- Richard Truhlar

Angel Body and Other Magic for the Soul
"For the past twenty years the American small press Wordcraft of
Oregon has built up a stable of authors that reads like a speculative
fiction who’s who. Many have gone on to be widely published, or be
acclaimed as winners or nominees of major literary prizes including the
Pushcart, Rhysling, Readercon, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke and
Stoker awards. Now twenty-five writers, artists
and poets from the Wordcraft stable have come together in a major new
anthology in celebration of this US publisher’s achievements. From
Chicano bioterrorists to restless vampires, supermodel wannabes to
singing angels, each piece in this collection takes the reader into
uncharted territory as only the best speculative fiction can." Contributors:

Blue Dawn, Red Earth: New Native
American Storytellers
Incorporating
traditional oral tales into modern narratives, the writers featured in
this collection represent a wide range of tribes and cultural
backgrounds, and demonstrate the vibrancy and diversity of Native
American writing. The characters in these stories are as enduring as
those that have been passed down in legend, as they capture the spirit
of Native America, past and present.
