Introduction

Left to itself, wild grass will grow, thrive, and die in unknown and unlikely places. Likewise, for a variety of reasons, many gifted writers find their work being read only by friends and relatives and then stored in file drawers for an uncertain posterity.

Garden of Grasses is a project to present previously unpublished literary gems so that they may have the readership they deserve. Garden of Grasses began simple and free-spirited in 1996, and has grown naturally (like grasses) in directions set by its contents, contributors, and readers.

"The moment one gives
close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass,
it becomes a mysterious, awesome,
indescribably magnificent world in itself."
--Henry Miller

"Garden of Grasses" Is Now Complete

Three years (1996 through 1999) saw the Garden of Grasses site grow from zero to 330 selections (poems, short stories, and essays) written by 43 authors from many parts of the world. In August of 1996 Lucille Younger and Alan Harris co-founded this site, and after the middle of 1998 Mary Lambert and Alan Harris were its co-editors.

We have enjoyed making this previously-unpublished literary work available to the public. It was never fun to return some of the work submitted to us, since we've experienced the rejection scene ourselves, but we hope you'll agree that the work we have accepted and published is well worth your while.

We are no longer accepting submissions to Garden of Grasses because of the site's large size, but we hope that readers will continue to visit this anthology often for inspiration and entertainment. Thanks are extended to all of the individual authors who contributed their works to this collection, and to the many readers who have discovered it and followed its growth.

In December of 1999 we launched a new literary site entitled Heartplace, which you are invited to visit.
