ANNOUNCING
THE NEW ARRIVAL OF…
The
Palm and The Pine:
Amador
Literary Society’s
Anthology
of Writers 2009/2010
Edited
by Sarah Luck Pearson
A fresh wind is
blowing through the Sierras. It is the
bold new voices of the first Amador Literary Society. The
Palm and The Pine features thirteen nonfiction stories that grew out of
three Creative Nonfiction Workshops from Fall 2009 to Spring 2010. The result is
a compelling collection of true stories written from the heart of
Amador.
Advanced
Reviews:
"These
extremely personal stories about love, friendship, aging and death are powerful
in scope and polished in quality. Some bring a smile to the face while others
are deeply affecting in ways that keep with the best tradition of creative
non-fiction. Pearson did an incredible job of helping these writers of all ages
find their voices."
— Scott Thomas
Anderson, Sierra Lodestar Magazine
“Sarah Luck
Pearson has created more than a group of writers; she has created a glowing,
breathing spirit that lives on after it has left this space. The words of each writer show a depth of
self-awareness and wisdom gained that can only reflect commitment and dedication
to craft. We look forward to hosting
Sarah and the Amador Literary Society again and
again.”
--Linda &
Wolf Hein, Hein & Co Bookstore
“The
anthology is both an example of excellent story telling as well as revelations
of personal experiences--both hard tasks to achieve together. Thank you for the
opportunity to revisit my own experience, while reading about others. Hope Sarah Luck Pearson and Amador county
writers will produce many other anthologies like
these!”
--Ruth
Gottstein, Publisher Emerita, Volcano Press

“There is a vitality, a life force,
an energy, a quickening that is translated
through you into action.
And because there is only one you in all time, this expression
is unique.
And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium,
the world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is,
nor how valuable,
nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours
clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.”
-Martha Graham
