<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Enticing, heart wrenching, and darkly funny, the interconnected stories in this volume bring together an eclectic mix of artists as they grapple with economic realities and evolving expectations and struggle to find the spark of something new and original within themselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Enticing, heart wrenching, and darkly funny, the interconnected stories in <em>The Artstars</em> are set in creative communities--an art school, an illegal loft studio, a guerrilla street performance troupe--where teamwork and professional jealousy mix, and the artists grapple with economic realities and evolving expectations. A middle-aged poet, reeling from 9-11, fights homesickness, writer's block, and ladybugs at an artist's colony. A new empty-nester finds a creative outlet in her community garden, but gets tangled up in garden politics. As the characters pass through each other's stories, making messes and helping mop them up, some find inspiration in accidents; others are ready to quit art completely. Together, they stumble through the creative process, struggling to make art and find the spark of something new and original within themselves. In a world where the odds of becoming a star are nearly impossible, <em>The Artstars</em> tells the stories of those who dare to dream. </p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>The Artstars</i> is about what people are willing to do - have always been willing to do, really - to be artists: take meaningless day jobs, endure writer's block, weather bad reviews, live in substandard housing, and collect rejection letters while friends collect accolades.</p>-- "Portland Press Herald"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Anne Elliott has been a sculptor, English teacher, performance poet, waitress, Wall Street analyst, ukulelist, costume stitcher, database programmer, and publisher of tiny books.
