Touch Grass
What motivates us to live life to the fullest, to engage in the real world beyond the all-encompassing technology of our modern age? What began as a meme to address this question, "Touch Grass" has become the prompt for this year's writing contest, drawing contributions from authors who have all shared a piece of themselves in response. While some of the writings in this book address the prompt more literally with poems and short stories about nature, others focus on a variety of accomplishments, struggles, and real-life experiences of all kinds. A handful of these works have been selected for special honors as winners, but all included deserve recognition for their contributions and creativity. Many exceptional authors submitted excellent work, and it was a difficult task to restrict the book to only what is contained here. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present the selected works of our Third Annual Writing Contest: Touch Grass, generously sponsored in part by Will2Rise and Media2Rise.
Bar Guide for the Seriously Deranged

Rape, Incest, Battery
Rape, incest, and battery change a woman's life forever. Some women never rise above the pain, the rage, the humiliation, while others seem to transcend the violence and rebuild their lives. What distinguishes those who transcend the violation? Courage--the courage to face their past and, sometimes, to put it into words. In 1989 Miriam Harris was serving as project coordinator for the Battered Woman's Emergency Intervention Project at Dallas's Parkland Hospital. As part of her duties, she taught a journal-writing class at a women's shelter and found that the women she helped to express their pain, rage, and frustration underwent a catharsis of the soul, but, more importantly, understood the heroic enterprise of regaining self-power. "The writing cure," as she calls it, builds on the "talking cure" that originated with Sigmund Freud's famous patient, Anna O. According to Harris, a woman discovers a new identity by becoming the "subject who writes" rather than the victim who waits in silence. Knowing that the problem of violence against women is universal in our world, Harris put out a call to professional writers, women in shelters, and scholars in academe. She advertised in literary journals and newsletters, asking for autobiographical writings by women who survived any kind of violence and abuse. Rape, Incest, Battery resulted from her long process of collecting, selecting, and editing. Divided into seven sections, this anthology is arranged in the pattern a journey might take: "Silent Woman Speaks" redefines the events of the past; "Thoughts after Rape" explores the continuum of sexual violence in our culture; "Dark Pages" lights the dark of childhood, too often revealing abuse and incest; "Grinding Axes" calls attention to the price women pay for accepting society's definitions of gender; "Behind His Walls" explores imprisonment, both actual and metaphorical; "Regeneration" captures the moment of rebirth; and "She Said NO!" affirms female strength. A woman is raped every three minutes; a woman is beaten in her home every fifteen seconds; one of four women in emergency rooms is "battered." Over four million women are beaten annually by current and former male partners, and between two thousand and four thousand are murdered. But this book goes beyond the overwhelming magnitude of the problem to celebrate the images of heroic women fighting for their rights, risking their lives, rescuing their children from a violent family life, testifying, speaking out, and seeking justice when they are beaten, raped, or otherwise violated.

Let the Baby Sleep
Let the Baby Sleep is a fearlessly exploratory collection of poems. The poet, Patrick T. Reardon, dissects the world of his childhood, his upbringing, his relationships with his parents and siblings, his maturation and growth, and the wrenching shock of his brother's suicide. With extraordinary skill and grace, he exposes the worlds-physical, mental, spiritual-that he inhabited and is forced still to inhabit, and asks us to confront them with him.This is a rare collection. Reading these poems feels like a privilege that should be reserved for the poet and his family, but the warmth, generosity, humour, and love that permeates the whole is offered without reservation. The poems are, by turns, gentle, harrowing, contemplative, heartfelt, but always insistently demonstrative, insistently declarative. There is no turning away.

Spirit of the Bear Lodge
Good bones. That's what house renovators say old homes need to make them worth saving. This phrase applies to the Bearlodge Writers as well. We still follow the mission and guidelines set forth by our charter members. That framework has formed the basis of a long-lasting organization. The Bearlodge Writers have been meeting bi-monthly in Sundance, Wyoming, since 1979. The Hills have drawn us from different directions. We are ranchers and homemakers, artists and teachers, musicians and business people-but most of all, we are wordsmiths. We encourage and support one another in our writing endeavors, help each other improve our work, share information, and provide workshops and writing retreats. We produce poetry, essays, novels, short stories, articles, and columns. Our published works ripple outward-regionally, nationally, and internationally. Our table has changed little in essentials since its founding. We still bring chocolate along with our red pens. We critique gently but honestly. We try to give each other what we need, be it grammar help, publishing tips, or simply nonjudgmental ears to listen. At times, our table has become a virtual one, as we incorporate words like "Zoom" into our vocabulary. In this shifting geography, we aren't always physically "at the table," but our spirits remain there. The essence of who we are endures. Praise for Spirit of the Bear Lodge: Chocolate and red pens! Bearlodge writers wield both with good cheer and skill as they support each other in their writing. Meeting monthly for more than forty years, members of Bearlodge Writers have been widely published, spreading their work to readers everywhere. In these pages, you will find writing "from Tiananmen to Vilnius," from Maine to the Medicine Bow, deep as roots can burrow and high as mountains and eagles can soar. Their voices echo and sing, piercing the fog of our daily lives, bringing new hymns of entertainment, reflection, grief, healing, and contentment. Gaydell Collier, one of the group's founders, to whom this collection is dedicated, would be proud. Add Spirit of the Bear Lodge to your library; read it with gratitude, joy, and hope.-Linda M.

Porch Stories
Bruce Nelson grew up in a small black community where he pitched watermelons, picked cotton, swam in the neighborhood canals, and attended the segregated Booker T. Washington School, in Mesa, AZ. The neighborhood was known as North Town. In 1994 Bruce stumbled into Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center located in Venice Beach, California. The eclectic atmosphere nudged him into attending their weekly writing workshops and performances. He was always eager to share his poetry and short stories with classes. So, when Nelson secured the position as Artistic Director for Saban Free Clinic's Project ABLE (An educational theater troupe) he was primed to write one-act plays. During his six years as Artistic Director, he received three LA Cultural Affairs grants to write a series of one-act plays that were performed in Los Angeles County for adolescents in alternative schools, youth hostels, prisons, homeless shelters, middle schools, high schools, and youth conferences. His one-act play Anansi and the Sky God was accepted into the Play Lab at the Last Frontier Theater Conference in Valdez, Alaska. Porch Short Stories is Bruce Nelson's first book
Literary Fort Worth
Aware that some may see the title of this volume as an oxymoron, James Ward Lee argues in his "Argumentative Introduction" that for more than a century Fort Worth writers have written well about a city too often dismissed as a semi-rural cow town. Writers have celebrated its world of cattle and oil, to be sure, but many have seen other sides of Fort Worth--the country club set, the literati, the artists and artisans, the musicians, the intellectuals, and the whole minority sub-culture that has given a cosmopolitan tone to the Queen City of the Prairies. Fort Worth is in many ways the most typical of Texas cities--proud of its slogan of "Cowtown and Culture." People mingle as easily at the new Bass Hall, with its world-class visiting entertainers and the Van Cliburn Piano Competition, as they do at the White Elephant Saloon or the Cowtown Coliseum. They visit a museum complex unrivalled anywhere in the world for a city Fort Worth's size, and they attend the Southwest Exposition and Livestock Show. Lee and Judy Alter, both Fort Worth residents and well-known writers themselves, found passages in novels, short stories, and poetry that caught the city's atmosphere and odd bits of its history. And they found that some of the best writing done about Cowtown is journalistic rather than what is usually considered literary. There are articles by current and former members of the staff of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and one particularly poignant piece about the last day of the old Fort Worth Press. Literary Fort Worth is a literary smorgasbord, with something to appeal to almost any reader's taste. And literary? You bet!
A Fire to Light Our Tongues
A Fire to Light Our Tongues: Texas Writers on Spirituality brings together the works of writers in Texas. The title is taken, with permission, from Naomi Shihab Nye's introduction to Salting the Ocean: 100 Poems by Young Poets, where she states the role of poetry serves as "a fire to light our tongues." This view describes the role that creative writers, encountering the challenges of this past decade, face as they grapple with shifting views of spirituality. While the project started before COVID-19, given the current worldwide pandemic, a book of creative work responding to writers' spirituality could not be more timely. This anthology offers readers creative works by Texas writers as they wrestle with evolving systems of belief or nonbelief.
After Postmodernism
Several of American literature's most prominent authors, and many of their most perceptive critics and reviewers, argue that fiction of the last quarter century has turned away from the tendencies of postmodernist writing. Yet, the nature of that turn, and the defining qualities of American fiction after postmodernism, remain less than clear. This volume identifies four prominent trends of the contemporary scene: the recovery of the real, a rethinking of historical engagement, a preoccupation with materiality, and a turn to the planetary. Readings of works by various leading figures, including Dave Eggers, Jonathan Franzen, A.M. Homes, Lance Olsen, Richard Powers, William T. Vollmann, and David Foster Wallace, support a variety of arguments about this recent revitalization of American literature. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Textual Practice.

The Questions That Matter Most
Now in paperback, Pulitzer-winning novelist Jane Smiley's first nonfiction volume on writing since 2005's best-selling Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel."Smiley gives educators, readers, and writers much to discuss. Highly recommended." --Library Journal, starred review"Line for line, Smiley delivers such clear, vibrant, precise prose--handed forth as calmly and equitably as an ice cream cone, even when she's incensed--that a reader feels smarter just taking it in." --The Boston GlobeLong acclaimed as one of America's preeminent novelists, Jane Smiley is also an exquisite observer of the craft of writing. In The Questions That Matter Most this Pulitzer Prize-winning writer offers penetrating essays on some of the aesthetic and cultural issues that mark any serious engagement with reading and writing. Beginning with a personal introduction tracing Smiley's migration from Iowa to California, the author reflects on her findings in the varied literature of the Golden State, whose writers have for decades pondered the West's contested legacies of racism, class conflict, and sexual politics. As she considers the ambiguity of character and the weight of history, her essays provide fresh entry points into literature, and we lucky readers can see how Smiley draws inspiration from across the literary spectrum to invigorate her own writing. With enthusiasm and meticulous attention, Smiley dives beneath surface-level interpretations to examine the works of Marguerite de Navarre, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Franz Kafka, Halld籀r Laxness, and Jessica Mitford. Throughout, Smiley seeks to think harder and, in her words, with "more clarity and nuance" about the questions that matter most.
Islands of Women
In the summer of 1906, a young girl discovers a near lifeless, naked woman washed onto the shore of Pine Cove Key, a small island off the west coast of Florida. The child is convinced the woman is her mother who had disappeared years before. Residents of the island believe her mother was a victim of foul play. The storm-battered woman awakens in the home of the island's acrimonious grand matriarch. She gradually reveals to the homeowner's housemaid details of her privileged, although unfulfilled, life in New Orleans. Wracked with guilt over the abandonment of her family and her attempted suicide, she confesses the willful actions that had driven her to unthinkable choices and their resulting consequences. She also learns about the little girl responsible for saving her and the dismal circumstances surrounding the impoverished child's home life. With no means to leave and completely dependent on others, the woman wrestles with how she will survive in the small island community. She soon learns that her bleak situation cannot compare with two other women's despairing truths. The three women soon forge a resourceful bond empowering them to weather the storms of each one's forsaken "island." At last, through mounting concern for the little girl who discovered her on the shore, her heart awakens to compassion, love, and forgiveness.

Invisible Poets
Invisible Poets: Afro-Americans of the Nineteenth Century brings into view over 130 other Black men and women who published poetry in America during the century between Phillis Wheatley and Paul Laurence Dunbar. In spite of their impressive achievements, these poets' works have been out of print, their few biographies incomplete and unreliable, and criticism of their poetry rare and often biased. The author, Joan R. Sherman, was ahead of her time in seeking "to strip myth and misinformation from their lives and to offer the most accurate biographies and bibliographies obtainable after a century of neglect." In the only comprehensive and realistic appraisal of their contributions to American literature, Sherman intensively studies twenty-six representative poets of the nineteenth century, analyzing their poetry and providing the first significant profiles of their extraordinary life experiences. About three dozen other poets also receive attention. Their work, which ranges from "militant, race-proud jeremiads to sentimental nature and love lyrics," faithfully conforms to nineteenth-century poetic standards. At the same time, it reflects the changing American political and cultural scene and provides an invaluable record of over a hundred years of Black experience as articulated by sensitive and talented American writers. The Berkshire Edition includes a foreword by Jaki Shelton Green, 9th Poet Laureate of North Carolina.

Her position is a job with no rules or descriptions, but she must fulfill duties, including attending events, giving speeches, supporting her husband, and being the mother of a nation.

Islands of Women
In the summer of 1906, a young girl discovers a near lifeless, naked woman washed onto the shore of Pine Cove Key, a small island off the west coast of Florida. The child is convinced the woman is her mother who had disappeared years before. Residents of the island believe her mother was a victim of foul play. The storm-battered woman awakens in the home of the island's acrimonious grand matriarch. She gradually reveals to the homeowner's housemaid details of her privileged, although unfulfilled, life in New Orleans. Wracked with guilt over the abandonment of her family and her attempted suicide, she confesses the willful actions that had driven her to unthinkable choices and their resulting consequences. She also learns about the little girl responsible for saving her and the dismal circumstances surrounding the impoverished child's home life. With no means to leave and completely dependent on others, the woman wrestles with how she will survive in the small island community. She soon learns that her bleak situation cannot compare with two other women's despairing truths. The three women soon forge a resourceful bond empowering them to weather the storms of each one's forsaken "island." At last, through mounting concern for the little girl who discovered her on the shore, her heart awakens to compassion, love, and forgiveness.
