Patchwork, The Scottish (Black & White) Edition: A collection of Short Stories

By Rich Polk

From the Foreward by Gill Otto, author of Baker's Dozen."These are slender but resonant stories, carefully constructed and often luminously written. The characters and situations continue to live on in the reader's mind when the story arc has been completed. "Whether Rich is giving us a man trudging along the railroad tracks in a raw Polish winter in WW2, or drawing on his own experiences of a real 'stakeout,' he is convincing and insightful. He has a keen sense for a 'good story' and a growing mastery of form and language to make that one shot count. "With the exception of his moving story 'Victor,' his focus is not the momentous, the extraordinary, or the cosmic, but the everyday - the everyday miracles of courage, falling in love, doing the right thing - or even, with growing reluctance, doing the wrong thing."
