Are You Shy?

Shy is an anthology filled with personal essays and poems by authors and poets who have been labeled by the world -- teachers, parents, and peers -- as shy. Here, they proudly own up to their shyness, and their message is clear: they don't need to be cured! Why should they, when nearly half of North Americans consider themselves shy? Join Montreal contributors Jeff Miller, Eve Krakow, and Brian Campbell for readings and a semi-raucous celebration of shyness.   I am happy to share that this anthology will feature fellow writer, Eve Krakow.     Shy Anthology Launch: Monday, November 11 at 7:00 p.m. at Le Dépanneur Café, 206 Bernard West, Montréal, QC H2T 2K4 ‎ Please visit their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/events/160112187526687/   Book Jacket: Shy An Anthology

Editor Naomi K. Lewis, Rona Altrows

“We're not exactly scene-stealers, so you don't hear much from us shy folk—and that's usually how we like it.” —Elizabeth Zotova, “My Dear X” The pages of this anthology are filled with personal essays and poems of thoughtful musings, raw memories, and humorous self-examinations by authors and poets who have been labelled by the world—teachers, parents, and peers—as shy. Here, they proudly own up to their shyness, and their message is clear: they don’t need to be “cured”! Why should they, when nearly half of North Americans consider themselves shy?   Editors Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows have enlisted writers from across the continent and have created a moving anthology that will appeal to all, either because we are shy or because we know someone who is.
