In Short: A Collection of Brief Creative Non Fiction by Mary Jones

Delights and surprises await the reader in this rich gathering of Shorts (ranging from several paragraphs to 2,000 words). From Diane Ackerman's fascination with hummingbirds to Andrei Codrescu's idiosyncratic view of nostalgia to Albert Goldbarth's free-wheeling riff on the universe, each Short becomes a sharply focused lens on an outer world or an inner sensibility.
Judith Kitchen is the author of three other collections of essays, most recently Half in Shade, Coffee House Press. She has also published a novel, a book of poetry, and a book on the work of William Stafford. In addition, she has edited three collections of short nonfiction pieces for W. W. Norton, an anthology of poetry on birds, and is currently working on a collection of selected reviews of poetry from the past twenty-five years. She lives in Port Townsend, WA where she is in the same time zone, but not the same zip code or area code, as her three grandsons.
