The Amateur Masters: Essays, Poetry & Fiction

THE AMATEUR MASTERS is a collection of short pieces from an eclectic group of writers, poets, and memoirists. In this anthology, each author exposes a little piece of themselves with a comfort, trust, and companionship of a long lost friend. Every piece fits together, conjuring brilliant memories that burn like a camp fire. And like camp fire tales, it is the warmth around the fire that brings each unique work together.

A good line can change your core body temperature, make you feel whole, or it can shake you to pieces. Sometimes you ache for that missing piece, yearn for it, like a loved one far away. Sometimes it is that simple task of searching that gives you a hope of redemption. We hope that every work in this anthology will spark your curiosity, and linger with you like the embers of a fire long gone.
