Haywire Hearts and Slide Trombones: Stories by Dwight Yates

His stories tease a subtle slide of recognition down a reader's vertebrae, and a half-smile of remembrance at the trombones of our former lives." -Susan Straight The author's first collection of stories, Haywire Hearts and Slide Trombones, received the Kennedy award, and his second, Bring Everybody, The Juniper Prize. He has been awarded two fiction fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. Mr. Yates lives in Redlands, California.
