A Commotion in Your Heart: Notes on Writing and Life

Book cover of Commotion in Your Heart by Barbara Shoup

A Commotion in Your Heart: Notes on Writing and Life “is a memoir about the writing life,” Shoup said. Told in vignettes that focus on moments of understanding about what writing is, and is not, 这本书记录了Shoup从童年梦想成为一名作家到出版界跌宕起伏的历程, “as well as the joys of teaching aspiring writers of all ages,” she said.

“Some writers just write. That’s enough for them. 但随着时间的推移,我开始着迷于写故事的过程,就像我着迷于故事本身一样. Those moments of intuition never fail to excite me. 我们很容易会说,他们感觉自己就像一个拼图的碎片,一个个合在一起——他们确实有这种感觉——但这是一个永远无法解决的谜题. How can you expect to understand how the human mind works when creating a story, when all you have is a human mind to understand it with? It’s impossible, of course. But writers are people who keep trying anyway.”

A Commotion in Your Heart should be on every writer’s bookshelf, next to Bird by Bird, Writing Down the Bones and Welty’s One Writer’s Beginnings. 读这本书就像有一个写作搭档,她给你提供工具,但她也知道你在每个阶段要经历什么,并以她的坚韧激励你, wisdom and humor.”
—Susan Neville, author of Iconography: A Writer’s Meditation

Only Witness

Only Witness boo cover Jim Powell                                                                                                                                                        

Jim Powell is the founder of the Indiana Writers Center, a nonprofit organization that has supported Indiana writers for forty years. 在他的19篇故事集里,你会发现一个被前纳粹分子奴役的年轻女子, a man who’s shepherding his elderly mother through Alzheimer’s Disease, a child used as a pawn by his mother, and a writer who connects with an old friend who will never change. The settings range from Indianapolis to Vienna, Krakow, Puerto Vallarta, and beyond—but no matter its setting, 每个故事都是通过作者的镜头过滤出来的,他知道自己是谁,从哪里来. Powell’s stories are intense, even disturbing at times. But they are always true. Each one reflects the wisdom and generosity of a life lived, a witness to the vast complexity of the human condition.

“Jim Powell’s book of stories, Only Witness, bears insightful and lyrical witness to the everyday comedy and tragedy of our time, with an admirably authentic Hoosier flavor. Powell joins the great tradition of Nicholson, Tarkington and Vonnegut.”

—Dan Wakefield, author of Going All the Way

Weaving together essays, poems, and graphics by mothers of children with a wide range of disabilities, 琼斯和怀特克编辑了一本集子,突出了做母亲的挑战和快乐, 揭示恐惧和内疚的快乐,因为母亲探索他们与孩子的关系, partners, families, caregivers, educators, and the medical community.
