Tools of the trade-artists have their palettes and easels, sculptors theirchisels and knives, but writers? Their tool kit is that cornucopia of words,overflowing in richness yet ever so challenging in the care and precision itdemands of those who dare employ them.This latest volume of works by members of The Literary Club offersexamples of the beauty, the power and sheer magic of words artfullycrafted. On display are stories and poems reflecting the labors of a groupof club members embarked on that elusive search for the right wordto express their thoughts and ideas. One of the essayists even wonderswhether finding the right one is indeed an impossible task.Leading off the collection is a poetic set of meditations on wordsby the club’s unofficial poet laureate, Richard Hague. Then readers aretaken on literary adventures by others-to an eatery called Irk’s, to aclassroom encounter with mud, to a soiree with Madame X, and muchmore. Finally, we dip into the club’s archives, now spanning 175 years ofwriting, for some words about celebrated writers who should have beenenrolled in our membership but somehow weren’t.We hope that readers of this volume will savor the outpouring ofwords as much as those did who assembled them.
