Beyond the Lines:
Writing What You Couldn’t Say
 by
R. Suzanne Zeitman, Tamara Graham, Ann Holdreith, John Morris, Joyce
Harlukowicz, Patricia Washburn, Dale Prentiss, Rhonda Hacker, Linda Dominik,
Maureen Dunphy, Jim Perkinson, and edited by Margo LaGattuta
"Twelve
writers of poetry and prose probe the depths of the heart in this collection of
recent work. The book gathers a wide range of voices who find common ground and
meaning in the everyday world of relationships and experience. As they discover
language for what has previously been unnamable, they invite the reader to join
in a process that invites personal discovery."
-- Margo LaGattuta, editor and poet
What
reviewers have said:
"From poetry
to prose, Beyond the lines is a literal smorgasbord of life and living. Taste of
bittersweet in the delightful ‘Tablesaw’ by Rhonda Hacker to Patricia Washburn’s
‘Sudsing Tom Selleck’ contrasted by the poignant ‘Crosswind,’ Beyond the Lines
offers variety plus a pleasant read."
-- Jerry Stanecki, author of "Life is a Joke, and God Wrote It," writer and
syndicated columnist
"Beyond the
Lines" delves into the lives of ordinary people discovering what life is about
through the process of melding word and idea, emotion and reason. There is joy
here, and sorrow for loss, but always the awareness of small details that make
relationships what they are. People to people, these twelve writers share with
the reader the deep heart of human experience."
-- Bettie Sellers, Poet Laureate of Georgia
"This book
gives us mature-and consequently important-work because its contributors
understand that our lives are not so much a variable series of feelings and
events, as things given form by the dominant emotions that arise from crucial
experiences or temperaments that have been ours as long as we can remember."
-- Edward Haworth-Hoeppner, Professor of English, Poet-in-Residence, Oakland
