Scoria: Short Prose From the Cinder Cone

by Katharine Derrick, Jac Jenkins

Overview

“It is near noon in the orchard and small passions of petals are bursting spring into the air. Or perhaps it’s mid-afternoon …” What happens when two sisters, who grew up under a cinder-cone mountain, put their writing talents together? The answer is Scoria—a compilation of short prose pieces, exploring the scoriac “small bubbles and glassy fragments” of life. Authors: Kathy Derrick & Jac Jenkins.
