About This Book
As he demonstrated in The Fox and Other Stories, (Turtle Press - 1996), The Man Who Saw Himself and River of Fire, Ed Robison continues to watch and listen closely to the world around him. This new collection reveals fresh poignancies and acutely observed quotidian mini-dramas that can easily burn into the consciousness of those willing to pause and listen. Whiskey Creek -- the key story, is an unforgettable look at the horror of war. "It wouldnt be entirely out of line to characterize Ed Robison as a Damon Runyon of the resorts, retirement communities, logging towns and ... porch swings of the Northwest." - Jim Nisbet, author of Prelude to a Scream. Ed Robison was born in Bellingham, Washington. He grew up in Los Angeles, served in Korea and worked in aerospace for 35 years. He began writing in 1970. He studied under Leonardo Bercovici at UCLA and has been three times nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Turtle Press published his first collection, The Fox and Other Stories, in 1996. For 13 years he was a classical music host on station KONP/1450. Robison lives in Port Angeles, Washington, where he and his wife founded and operated North Light Gallery featuring Northwest fine art and crafts. He currently lives in an old farmhouse where he writes.
