Waiting: An Anthology of Essays

Waiting: An Anthology of Essays

Roberta Rees
4.2/5 ( ratings)

The verb 'esperar' means to wait. It also means to hope. --Cora Sir? Waiting, that most human of experiences, saturates all of our lives. We spend part of each day waiting--for birth, death, appointments, acceptance, forgiveness, redemption. This collection of thirty-two personal essays embraces both widely-shared and surprising interpretations of the theme, which is as much about hope as it is about waiting. The contributors play with language that ranges from lush and complex to spare and subtle. Featuring literary voices from the renowned to the emerging, this anthology of contemporary creative nonfiction will resonate with anyone who has ever had to wait. Contributors: Samantha Albert, Rona Altrows, Sharon Butala, Jane Cawthorne, Weyman Chan, Rebecca Danos, Patti Edgar, John Graham-Pole, Leslie Greentree, Edythe Anstey Hanen, Vivian Hansen, Jane Harris, Richard Harrison, Elizabeth Haynes, Lee Kvern, Anne L?vesque, Margaret Macpherson, Alice Major, Wendy McGrath, Stuart Ian McKay, Lorri Neilsen Glenn, Susan Olding, Roberta Rees, Julie Sedivy, Kathryn Seifert, Cora Sir?, Steven Ross Smith, Anne Sorbie, Glen Sorestad, Kelly S. Thompson, Robin van Eck, Aritha van Herk
