Human is an anthology of short stories and poems exploring the human condition, social mores and normative behaviors.
What does it mean to be Human? Scientists, psychologists, theologians and others have asked this question since the beginning. In this anthology, The Writing Journey offers a collection of creative reflections on the ever-changing prism we call the human experience. What are the edges of being human? These stories and poems plumb those boundaries, some with the lightness of ironic humor and some with the heavy despair of reality. Enjoy these writers as they explore the many facets of love, family, friendship, growing up, growing old, death and dying, our fears, our needs, our alienations, and our aspirations. Or can we define human at the edges of our relationships between and among species, humans and technology?
The Writing Journey is publishing online this collection of flash fiction stories and poems, edited by Tim Yao, Mary O’Brien Glatz and Melinda Borucki and featuring stories and poems by Tanasha Martin, Arah Ko, Mary O’Brien Glatz, Todd Hogan, Elaine Fisher, Tim Yao, Keshia Nowden, Melinda Borucki, Ana Koulouris, Ed Pongklub, and Stephanie Ewing. An e-book form of the anthology will be made available this spring.
Tim is a founding member of the Journey, co-Municipal Liaison for the Naperville region of National Novel Writing Month, and the author of several short stories.
