Writing on the wind : an anthology of West Texas women writers
The vast disparate region called West Texas is both sparsely populated and scarcely recognized. yet it has given voice to a surprising number of women writers who have left more than a faint impression on its hardscrabble terrain and consciousness. The short stories and essays in this collection, through strong emphasis on individual triumphs and failures, evoke place on a poignantly personal level, yet remind West Texans of their shared heritage and what it means to live in the landscapes these authors know so well
