But once they were arranged in this collection, the recurring themes were evident of desire and loss, of the intense isolation each of us necessarily endures and struggles with, as well as the redemptive if sometimes elusive power of love. Some of the stories are new, appearing here for the first time in print; others were published before on either side of the Atlantic. All of them evidence the expansive range of Herriges s imaginative vision, the distinctive richness of his voice, informed by the conjoined power of his musical and literary talents and experience. Greg Herriges s stories will make you remember the breaking and the mending of your heart. <p> </td> <!-- Row 1 Column 2 --> <td > <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<valign="top"><img style="border-width: 0px;" src="herrigescover_web.jpg" width="140" height="206" /> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <h4>Praise</h4><p> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana;"><font color=#000000> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana;"><font color=#000000> This is a brilliant collection of stories, precise in details about possibility and yearning and loss and intimacy and sweeping in scope.

With stories that range from sensitive depictions of young people on the cusp of their adolescence to those that render the fraught relations between adult men and women, Herriges humanely portrays life's  loss of sweetness. <p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: verdana;"><font color=#000000> Bruce F.
