What Are You Waiting For?: An Anthology

This poignant collection of essays, poetry, and artwork invites readers to reconsider what it means to wait. We all know the small, everyday waits-waiting for a plane to arrive, the workday to end, or a doctor to open the exam room door. But the writers in this collection take waiting much deeper.They write about waiting for a loved one to succumb to a terminal illness; waiting for heartbreak to soften; waiting for a child to grow up-and then wishing they were small again.Throughout the book, the theme of gardening emerges as a quiet metaphor for hope and patience. Should I plant now, or should I wait? I've been waiting so long for these flowers to bloom-maybe they never will.The contributors include award-winning writers and artists, New York Times bestselling authors, and voices whose work has appeared in a variety of publications, exhibits and collections.
