Gems: Books that inspire excitement, devotion, and comment An Ear to the Ground published by Cune Press |
An Ear to the Ground – This book is an anthology of the work of Arun Gandhi, Václav Havel, Horton Foote and 75 emerging writers. While the writings are unique and individual, all are essays on the theme of local truth. Each essay is preceded by a portrait of the author and followed by a profile of the author. "An Ear to the Ground introduces not only new writers but a new way of looking at the world. Here is a book which embraces geography and history. The profiles and pictures of the contributors are just as moving as the prose. When the word is given and we move into the next century, the fingerprints of these authors will be everywhere." - E. Ethelbert Miller, Howard University "What a pleasure! An Ear to the Ground is as tantalizing as an intimate dinner party at which people truly listen to one another and hear all kinds of wonderful stories. I admire Scott C. Davis for inviting all these terrific people to the table. The Profiles are an innovative addition, as inviting as a warm introduction." - Naomi Shihab Nye "A small Seattle press offers an intriguing anthology of essays of emerging writers from the West and East coasts, an admirable project of upstart publishing." - Seattle Post-Intelligencer - August 22, 1997"...a rich array of pieces that are variously humble, dazzling, funny, sober, heart-rending and spirit-lifting." - The Tacoma News Tribune - November 30, 1997 "...truly wonderful...powerful and sometimes pithy little essays that stick in your memory." - Santa Barbara News-Press - April 27, 1997
