It may look familiar to some of us, especially if you were in the Thursday short story workshop in the past few years, but let's just sit back and watch:
When birds start raining from the sky, a vision flashes through Wes's mind of some biblical prophecy, a plague loosed upon the Earth. He thinks back to his Sunday school days---there were frogs and gnats and locusts, but he remembers nothing about birds."
This is the opening to "Regaining Flight," which originally appeared next to Kent Haruf and Mark Spragg in the New Writers of the West issue of Colorado Review. Gary's one of a kind, and trust me, he'll be at your signing, so why not come to Lighthouse and raise a glass to his book, Migration Patterns, coming out from Fulcrum this month? Come on Saturday, October 6, 5-7 PM, to the Ferril House. And let us know you're coming so we have enough cheese-n-wine! [email protected]. Or call 303.297.1185. Free and open, and Fulcrum will be there selling books!
