In the Silence of this Room, the first release from Grey Sparrow Press, is a cross-cultural collection of writings that through poetry, narrative, and photos grapple with some of the most pressing issues of the world we live in: war, poverty, health care, environment, family, beauty, and lastly the ever-present need to connect love. The book represents the efforts of dedicated artists around the globe, some whom have been awarded literary prizes, to express a personal vision. Many of the writers have experienced the terrors of war and poverty, the lack of adequate medical care, and the reality of oppression. For them, this book represents both the vision of the world as it is and what it can be. It also expresses the belief that no matter our culture or environment, no matter what distance separates us we are more similar than not. We are all richly human and can accomplish great things. --Author, Kyle Hemmings

Review:
The Sparrow's first release, In the Silence of this Room, paints a sweeping mural of the human condition, with its highlights and shadows, strengths and weaknesses, heroism and cruelty. These stories carry valuable lessons, and will not fail to move the compassionate reader. --Britt Fleming lives in North Mankato, MN. He has managed Northography.com, a website for creative writing, since April 2006. You can find his poetry in Whistling Shade and several web publications. --Editorial Review, Minnesota

While reading, In the Silence of this Room, I could plainly hear helicopters hovering overhead, and understand how Klee's images might confirm the fate of Weinberger's silence to remind us that all war is the worst kind of war. Toward the end of the anthology I, too, become silent out of reverence to the writers for giving us this heartfelt collection. --Suzanne Nielsen, Ph.D., is a native of St. Paul, Minnesota. Her poetry, fiction and essays appear in literary journals nationally and internationally; Nielsen holds a doctorate in Education from Hamline University. --Academic Review, Minnesota
