READING A SHORT STORY IS TIME WELL SPENT Why not accept this invitation to escape into a collection of captivating short stories that will capture your interest, imagination and have you thinking about the challenges the characters face long after you finish reading the stories. You will meet characters from all walks of life, from teens embarking on a new stage of life, to people in mid-life, trying to achieve a work/life balance, to seniors grappling with how to thrive as an older adult. This collection divides stories into: THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE. THE PAST: Has an experience from your past ever stopped you from living your life in the present? The stories in this section focus on how an event from the past takes over a person's life, preventing them from moving forward. THE PRESENT: In each of these stories, the characters are consumed with one aspect of their lives that severely limits their freedom to grow as individuals. THE FUTURE: How do we plan for the future? What will our future look like given climate change and AI? Short stories are little capsules of people's experiences in life. They capture the moment. A character's life is revealed to you in a condensed format. A good short story makes you reminisce about your own life. So, come along, use those moments in your day where you could fit a short story into your busy life: on your commute to work, in a waiting room, during a work/school break, while baby is napping-almost any time, anywhere. You will be so glad you did.

From her first participatory performance building Rome in 24 hours—in cardboard—to Open House, her open-air Gilded Age ballroom—cast in concrete—in Central Park, Liz Glynn examines the past to shed light on present–day social and economic conditions through a diverse array of sculptures, structures, and actions. Emphasizing Glynn’s interest in process, temporality, labor, and shifting notions of value, this monograph features a series of essays on the artist's practice as a whole, texts on each of her discrete projects, and documentation of her performances. Together they give readers a comprehensive overview of an artist whose career has garnered enormous attention from audiences and critics alike.
