About the Book

...there it was. A boulder as big as a Buick...I worked myself up, said the rock didn't belong in our neck of the woods, that it came from Canada. I told them to think how it was stuck for maybe a hundred thousand years inside some glacier before it fell free, only to find itself a thousand miles from home. 'Maybe we should take it back,' I said. Like the Ice-age erratic discovered by this teacher, the characters in these twelve stories are in the wrong place, either physically or emotionally. Buried in the wrong grave, born at the wrong time, stuck working the wrong job, or caught on the wrong side of the state line, these northern Ohio residents communicate with animals, have sex in storerooms, believe in the magic of divining rods, see visions through prison fences, and worry that life's numbers don't add up. Their stories are the soft drip of icicles, the flap of wings, the thump, thump of hearts, the sounds we make when trying to find our way home.

About the Author :
ROGER HART'S work has appeared in such journals as Ambergris, The Ohio Writer, Other Voices, Willow Springs, and Passages North. He and his wife, the poet Gwen Hart, are presently students in the MFA program at Minnesota State University.

Review :
"Erratics is a remarkable gathering together of splendidly written, fully-reaIized and elegantly structured stories. Joined together by characters and a powerfully sensuous affective summoning up of place, this is also a choir of many voices as the author gracefully invents and inhabits the skin and bones, minds and souls, of a fully known, wholly credible cast of characters. They are each and all worth knowing. Their words (and the visions behind them) ring true. Their own stories and the stories they tell each other make this book as rich a narrative as any novel. At once highly original in concept and execution, yet part and parcel of the grand tradition from Boc­caccio and Chaucer to here and now, Erratics introduces a writer worthy of our best and closest attention." --George Garrett, final judge "If in recent years I have read a more memorable collection of stories than Roger Hart's Erratics, it certainly doesn't come to mind. This fellow is one fine writer. I was so struck with the magnificence of Hart's language and management of character and narrative line that I sent a copy of the manuscript to a New York agent who after reading the collection agreed with my assessment and contacted Hart about a possible commercial venture. This is a writer you will be hearing more from." --Paul Ruffin, Director, Texas Review Press
