Low Explosions: Writings on the Body, edited by Casie FedukovichLow Explosions: Writings on the Body (2006) is our seventh anthology. Low Explosions: Writings on the Body, a collection of stories, essays, poems, and illustrations from 97 contributors in some way related to the human body. "All of the pieces contend with some major explosion, whether actual--heart attacks and orgasms--or metaphorical--the authors's realization that he or she is 'that age' or 'that weight' or 'that color'," editor Casie Fedukovich writes in the introduciton. "Explosions, on any scale, are disruptive,but many of the pieces [in the book] move beyond the initial eruption of body, mind, or spirit to bring the reader to a quiet and satisfied end."

Ed. Casie Fedukovich with Steve Sparks (2006)

  Migrants & Stowaways: An Anthology of Journeys

Our sixth anthology, Migrants & Stowaways , is your ticket to an around-the-world journey. You'll read about the architecture of Gandhi's house in India, a 1940s bicycle trip through Europe, a doctor who moves his family to the Philippines, and a family who immigrates from Argentina.

Just when you start to get homesick, our writers will steer you back to the region with stories, poems, essays and memoirs about Appalachia, the French Broad River, and breaking the law in Kentucky.

The final section of the book explores those journeys we take with our minds more than our bodies. Complemented by eighteen compelling photographs, Migrants & Stowaways will make you as well traveled as any frequent flyer.
