Extending this trend, \u003ci\u003eShort Takes\u003c\/i\u003e presents over seventy-five writers whose range and style demonstrate the myriad ways we humans have of telling our truths. Themes develop and speak to or collide with one another: musings about parents, childhood, sports, weather, war, solitude, nature, loss—and, of course, love. The stellar roster of contributors includes well-known writers—Verlyn Klinkenborg, Jo Ann Beard, David Sedaris, Dorothy Allison, Salman Rushdie, and Terry Tempest Williams—along with Michael Perry, Mark Spragg, Jane Brox, and others whose literary stars are clearly rising. Each short—whether a few paragraphs or reaching 2,000 words, and reflecting almost every way nonfiction can be written—invites us to experience the power of the small to move, persuade, and change us.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eWriter and educator \u003cb\u003eJudith Kitchen\u003c\/b\u003e (1941–2014) was the cofounder of the Rainier Writing Workshop at Pacific Lutheran University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46553113460897,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780393326000","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780393326000.jpg?v=1781726791","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/short-takes-paperback-by-judith-kitchen","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
