Product Description

This story began when I thought of all the things a person might carry in a violin case that were not violins. I added an unhappy gay man, his exhibitionist sister, a mystery man in a trench coat, one aged artist and came up with a story about the power of seeing ourselves and others with new eyes.

About the Author

Is the world a funny, sad, or sublime place? In her stories, Elizabeth P. Glixman tells us it is all three. In “Conversations With Zoe,” a creative non-fiction piece, (Chocolate For A Women's Soul II, 2003), she shows readers the world holds humor when she talks to an out of control dog on a walk. In “It Happened to My Father,” (http://www.cezannescarrot.org/vol1iss3/ithappenedtomyfather.html spring, 2006), she writes about her father's battle with Lymphoma and how she coped. Elizabeth writes about her relatives in the funny and touching “Look in the Mirror Darling,” (A Cup of Comfort For Women, 2003). She describes how two well meaning elderly aunts manipulate her into wearing jewelry. Their mantra is, “ It won't kill you to wear a bracelet. Be a person already. Wear some jewelry.” In “My Mother's Bony Behind,” chosen as one of the top online short stories of 2005 by the storySouth's Million Writers Award, a mother in an assisted living facility waits for a visit from her daughter who hasn't visited her in years and who she doesn't even like. Elizabeth's poetry has been published in many online venues including Her Circle Ezine, Wicked Alice Poetry Journal, Frigg, Subtle Tea, and in print in the publications Women of the Web, a poetry anthology, Velvet Avalanche, an anthology of erotic poetry, and Tough Times Companion, a publication of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. Elizabeth has an intense curiosity about what makes people tick. As the Interview Editor for Eclectica (www.eclectica.org.), she has interviewed authors and editors as varied as award winning translator Joachim Neugroschel; Jim Tomlinson, winner of the prestigious Iowa Short Fiction Award; Brian Howell, author of The Dance of Geometry, a novel based on the life of Dutch painter Vermeer; and poet, teacher and human rights activist Susan Rich. Elizabeth has a BFA in studio arts and a MEd.
