This anthology of poetry, essays, and fiction contains the winning and honorable mention submissions from the Ghost Road Press Creative Writing contest held in 2005; it also has solicited contributions by writers regional to Colorado. Open Windows: 2005 is a mix of wry, touching, and honest pieces that make us think about the notion of change, whether it occurs in a marriage or parental relationship, the physical landscape and our relation to it, or in the fabric of society itself. But no matter what the setting or theme of the individual pieces, the collection as a whole is held together by the liminality of life experience, be it the classic coming-of-age tale, man's self-imprisonment, or the loss of the romantic notion.
A collection of diverse voices explores the multifaceted nature of change and liminal experiences. This anthology gathers award-winning and honorable mention submissions from the Ghost Road Press Creative Writing contest of 2005, alongside solicited works from Colorado-based writers. The pieces range from wry and touching to deeply honest, examining transformations in relationships, the environment, and societal structures. Across varied themes and settings, the collection is unified by the exploration of life's transitional moments, from coming-of-age narratives to experiences of self-imposed confinement and the disillusionment of romantic ideals.
This anthology showcases a range of creative works, highlighting both established and emerging voices. The collection's strength lies in its thematic coherence, with pieces consistently engaging with the concept of change across personal, societal, and environmental contexts. Readers can expect a diverse array of styles and perspectives, unified by the exploration of life's transitional phases. The inclusion of regional authors alongside contest winners provides a broad spectrum of literary expression.
