Bone Folding

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 21, 2019. Posted in General, GOD, GRIEF, LOVE, Writing. 2 Comments on Bone Folding

This is what it looks like before it’s a book. That’s a bone folder. You use it to sharpen your creases. These are pages of the novel THE HART WOMEN being folded into signatures with a bone folder. If you squint, you can tell the pages aren’t consecutive. That’s because they will be sewn together. At that point,...

Books and Beyond

I loved being at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library this morning for the library’s Books and Beyond Book Club. I was pleased they had me, and they were warm and gracious. I had a prepared a talk, but they had questions right out of the gate. We wound up talking for an hour and a half. It was wide-ranging. The ostensible topic was my...

“Never, Never, Never” Goes Live

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 15, 2019. Posted in General, Writing. 2 Comments on “Never, Never, Never” Goes Live

We interrupt the (ceaseless) sharing of Lenten Beauty to offer an announcement: “Never, Never, Never” is now live at Connotation Press. Years ago, “Never, Never, Never” was judged by Ron Rash to be the winner of the Tennessee Writers Association Fiction contest. The win did not come with publication. I was lucky enough...

As I talked about in my earlier post, I am creating one thing of beauty each day of this Lenten season. Technically, Sundays aren’t Lent. (For what it’s worth, neither is Holy Week). Yet, I wanted to do my beauty thing today, so here it is. We march on toward Easter. <3

The Beauty of Lent 2019

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 7, 2019. Posted in General, GOD, LOVE. No Comments on The Beauty of Lent 2019

Lent creeps up on us with ashy feet, banishing the revelry and sunshine in favor of introspection and smoky religion. We kneel and stare at the floor, contemplating. What to do with ourselves? How to spend the 40 days stair-stepping up to Easter and resurrection? Take on, give up. Piety and sacred resolutions. What direction to point in?...

I’m grateful to Literary Orphans for publishing this essay/prose poem/whatever of mine. And the accompanying artwork is great. The title is Atomirotica. It’s got an attitude. 🙂 If you look closely at this photo, you’ll see the image of Miss Atom Bomb (or something like that). My very own refrigerator magnet collection Hope...
