Beneath Still Waters

So, for the past 10 years or so I've been writing short stories. I think most of them are pretty terrible but thats because I'm the one who wrote them. But I finally put them together in a volume of work - along with essays, commentaries, and long epic poems and came out with The Wicker Swing. I think there's supposed to be a preview in here somewhere...

The Wicker Swing by J. Brooke Bowden | Make Your Own Book

">The Wicker Swing

So in this book are a few different short stories - The Wicker Swing, The Red Tomato, Hard Work, In spite of Love but also a few essays to. Its basically everything I've ever written.

Anyway. Its pretty darn cool - and even better in my actual hands. I ordered it in an "imagewrap" which only means that there isn't flaps like on usual hard-bound books. I have to say... its really flipping neat. I took the picture for the front and back cover too, in Oxford. I think we were at Penshurst place walking among the gardens when I came upon this door in the wall. It reminded me *so* much of A Secret Garden that I had to photograph it. It remains one of my favorite photographs period.
