Metamorphosis
An Anthology

Change is natural—beautiful, cathartic, necessary. But change is also painful, ugly, destructive. It’s one of life’s only constants. You can either embrace it or struggle against it. But it’s unlikely you'll ever stop it.This collection of 29 short stories, poems, and essays will take your breath away, break your heart, and even inspire transformation in your life. Because there’s no time like the present to break out of your shell, spread your wings, and embrace your own metamorphosis.Written by members of The Ohio Writers' Association, with audio book production by members of the Ohio Audiobook NarratorsTable of Contents Wild Animals – poetryUpon The Zinnia Petal – fantasyThe Hidden— poetryThe Sisters – poetryChaoyangia – poetryA Place For My Brother – fiction: family-in-crisisSpring Forward – poetryExperiments In Living Chemistry – memoirI Am Gilgamesh – memoirOn Seeing My Great Granddaughter In The Womb – poetryLump –fiction: family-in-crisisTransparent – poetryMiracle Of The Mass – poetryMy Patient, My Aunt – memoirMystery School – poetryNegala Clouds – poetryThe Blown Harp Lesson – poetryThe Rift – LGBTQ+ fiction: family-in-crisisThe Guts That Come With Love – a poemThe Sheriff – American westernUnbecoming – poetryRed: A Fairy Tale – LGBTQ+ romance/fairy taleThe Last Susan – poetryAubade – poetryGrandma Teague And Me – memoirAt The Crossing – poetryEight Billion Wolves--essayFair Flip – urban fantasyOn The Way To Proximata – science fiction
