Flowers at the Meadow's Edge
Flowers at the Meadow's Edge is a collection of short stories that moves from the intimate to the cosmic-and back again.
These stories range from memory-driven portraits of childhood and family (Grandmas, Bongo), to psychologically charged domestic realism (Dog-Day), to social allegory (Grover's End), speculative fiction (A Pause on the Bridge, Happy Birthday), and satirical metaphysics (Mr. & Mrs. God in the Multiverse). Across these shifts in scale, a consistent set of concerns emerges: how people live with one another, how they fail each other, and what-if anything-might redeem those failures.
Each story is accompanied by illustrations that do not simply depict the narrative, but reinterpret it-isolating moments, reframing events, and creating a second, visual track of meaning. The result is a hybrid form that sits between traditional prose and graphic narrative, where text and image work together to deepen the emotional and philosophical impact.
At once grounded and unsettling, Flowers at the Meadow's Edge is a work of literary fiction that explores memory, responsibility, violence, and the fragile possibility of grace.
