Reading the short stories of Colleen Libby is something like biting into a ripe persimmon - tender, mellow, fruity, but with an underlying bite that can pucker the senses and leave raw patches in the psyche. Her stories are timeless, slipping from fairy tale to bleak reality, as a sleeper flicks from dreams to the harshness of the morning’s duty with each turn on the pillow. Colleen’s characters are at turns tough and sensitive, confused and assertive; their stories of transformation and stasis reflect Colleen’s playful view of reality. This volume is the second published collection of her writings.
