Two If by Sea

Fiction. Anne-E. Wood's TWO IF BY SEA, is her first collections of short stories. "What will strike you first is the sheer energy and muscularity of Wood's prose. This is a book full of wounds, of damage, of mayhem, an unflinching look at the American family, past and present. But read these stories with as much slow care as they were written, and what you will take away-and what will remain a long time after you put this book down-are the very souls 9and hearts0 of her characters"-Peter Orner. TWO IF BY SEA is Winner of the 2006 Michael Rubin Chapbook Award. Wood is the Associate Artistic Director of Performing Arts Workshop in San Francisco, where she teaches Creative Writing and Theater.
