A Year of Sayings Anne Merkley

In this digital age of social media, the full-length novel and nonfiction book compete for attention with not only seven-second sound bites but also seven-word tweets. What a perfect environment for reasserting the importance of the "saying" - an age-old literary form that packages infinite wisdom into kernels of truth, and provides much needed guidance in a time of chaos. This book includes a saying for each day of the year plus an introduction on the power of the word. An author as well as visual artist, Anne Merkley has produced a number of books over the years. Under the umbrella of her own company, Knight-Bond Publishing, she has edited, written, illustrated and designed volumes of poetry, history, and art.
