First published 2015
Legacy brings together fourteen writers who spent January 2015 crafting stories about the marks we leave behind. The collection asks what traces of ourselves persist when we're no longer here. Some stories find answers in the people whose lives we've touched. Others discover legacy in letters written or stories told. The writers include Kristopher Jansma, winner of the 2014 Sherwood Anderson Award for Fiction, and New York Times bestseller Regina Calcaterra. Their stories span fiction and nonfiction, moving from laughter to eeriness, from pride to peace. Romance appears alongside rock and roll. Hope threads through the pages. Each writer brings their own perspective to questions that touch every human life. The anthology captures the full range of how people grapple with mortality and meaning.
