Publisher's Synopsis
A year defined by crisis and madness can be a bad time to relax and find serenity, but it's a great time to take the pulse of the Spirit of Our Town. Defiantly, out from beneath the social wreckage that is distance and isolation, chaos and often mistrust, emerge these fourteen pieces of spiritual writing, fourteen raw, naked statements of heart and soul translated to the page. This special Monadnock Underground collection brings together authors Scott Snyder, Kaela Law, Dan Sczcesny, David Aiken, Amelia Schwabe, Dianalee Valee, S.L. Abbott III, Kara Arsenault, Bill Chatfield, Aislin Booth, Jennifer Tirrell, Stephen Atherton, Jr., and M/U's own Chris DiLoreto and Zoë Wroten-Heinzmann. Through poetry, fiction, essay, abstract prose, and even a mini-play - through the act of creation itself - we celebrate triumphant even in the throes of dark times. May this volume contribute some small measure of faith, hope, and love to those who read it. Monadnock Underground, a literary journal of thought and spirit (and aspiring media empire), was founded in 2019 to promote the written word - and other creative arts - by providing it a new home. New essays, fiction, and poetry are published weekly online at monandockunderground.com, with print offerings several times per year. New episodes of M/U's variety show podcast, Underground Over the Air, are released periodically on your favorite podcast app. M/U is based in Peterborough, NH, and edited by Zoë Wroten-Heinzmann, with creative direction from Chris DiLoreto.
