Extending this trend, \u003cem\u003eShort Takes\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W.
