UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATORS: POEMS AND SHORT STORIES

By CINDY GROOMS MARVIN

This eclectic collection is set in the historic but obscure Florida that tourists rarely see. The poems are in turn playful and harrowing, descriptive and cryptic. Subjects wander from the eerie beauty of the rural South to the confounding passage of time, from the agony of lost love to the painful allure of dangerous friends. The short stories introduce readers to a child wrestling with her first loss, a young wife struggling to leave a deteriorating marriage, a woman who may not exist, and a desperate mother turning to ancient powers to save her dying child. The settings range from a ramshackle trailer in the woods to a world where the human race must choose between the birth of new generations and individual immortality. Story settings reach from the distant past into the far future. The author, a seventh-generation child of cracker Florida, invites you into a world of stark reality laced with magic.
