She entertains, piques curiosity, even exacts revenge in characters enjoyable to come to know, whether through love or through hate, all cast on a smooth and well-crafted journey that invites the reader to return to its pages again and again.</span><br />
<p>“Andrena Zawinski presses pause, and purity appears: a long ago
encounter with a friend chanting, a much younger lover who becomes a
mature woman in 300 words. More social documentaries than pure fiction,
these stories record zeitgeist—lesbian zeitgeist, baby boomer zeitgeist,
coal country trading-sex-for-bread zeitgeist. The narrator in the final
story confesses: ‘I am a convicted eavesdropper.’ That's the real
pleasure in Plumes—getting the skinny the strictly forbidden way by
listening to what you're not supposed to hear.”<br /><br />—Judy Juanita, The High Price of Freeways, Tartts Fiction Award<br /><br />“Reading
Andrena Zawinski’s terrific flash fiction/memoirs about love, travel,
mishaps, drinking, and searching is like sitting down at a table at your
favorite coffee shop with your best friend and listening to her
unfolding the best and wildest stories of her life. You never want her
to stop!”<br /><br />—John Guzlowski, Echoes of Tattered Tongues, Eric Hoffer Montaigne Medal<br /><br />“Andrena
Zawinski's powerful imagery, from ‘the kewpie doll draped in party
beads’ to ‘a candle-toothed smile,’ is as strong in this collection of
flash fiction as in her award-winning poetry. The personality and
panache of the globe-trotting woman at these tales' centers, savoring a
glass of fine wine as much as she does new locales, imbue these stories
with their particular she-ness. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite
to accompany the gorgeous writing of Plumes, which will certainly garner
its own accolades.”<br /><br />—Jan Steckel, The Horizontal Poet, Lambda Literary Award<br /></p><center>

writing poetry, fiction, nonfiction and stage plays. He makes money
teaching English in China. He thinks "the best way to avoid writer's

stuff you do want to write. This will keep your mind limber and your pen

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Wanda Morrow Clevenger wrote eight poems in a handful of months in 1974; thirty-four years later she returned to writing. She has since placed over 467 pieces of work in 158 print and electronic literary journals and anthologies.
<br />
<br />In August of 2013, while compiling the manuscript for this book she fell ill with pancreatitis, further complicated by necrosis in the following nine months, and wasn’t expected to survive. One year later, almost to the day, she sat down to finish where the hogs ate the cabbage.
<br />
<br />She has her husband to thank for the title.

<span style="font-size: large;">About the Author: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Azriel Johnson is an inkspatter analyst by day and a serial writer by night.
Currently he can be found teaching English in China if you’re looking hard enough.
He also is attempting to learn Chinese, but it is still poor. He admires his students for trying to learn English as he thinks speaking English is much more difficult than speaking Chinese, although the written characters trip him up. His goal is to be bi-lingual by the time he leaves, even if he is still functionally illiterate in Chinese.
