"Keep by Liane Ellison Norman is a wonderful book of deep noticing, with its landscape of shadows and openings, of thickening and loosening. With tangible joy in language, Norman traverses the natural world, showing us our raging lust for life and our vulnerability to that lust, engaging with each burning movement: ... the shadow of one planet falls/across the light of the other. This is a mountain range of poetry, a continuum of crags and footpaths with fine moments of play and splendor as we climb.
The images of Ruey Brodine Morelli likewise support this feeling of presence: the presence of the speaker's daughter, who has died but still is here; the presence of the sublime, as we feel the light and air in Morelli's art, but also the sometimes gathering movement toward the solid image. This collaboration extends but doesn't comment, interacts but doesn't impede. These artists have created a fine rhythm of air and light, giving us a sense of reappearing that is grateful and alive."
- Jan Beatty, author of Red Sugar, Boneshaker, and Mad River

Stitches in Air: A Novel About Mozart's Mother
by Liane Ellison Norman
ISBN:0-9709590-0-1
$15.00US + $3.00s/h (US Orders) or $22.50US + $7.50s/h (Foreign Orders)
432 pgs. paperback
Stitches in Air is the compelling story of Anna Pertl Mozart, mother of the inspired and heralded 18th-century composer. A gifted musician in her own right, Anna's talents and aspirations were denied during the Age of Enlightenment, which championed the Rights of Man but held that Nature had design Woman to cook, clean, knit and darn stockings.
When Anna is added to the well-documented life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a dynamic family emerges: Leopold, increasingly determined to fulfill his own ambitions through his son; Nannerl, frozen in disappointment as her own hopes are sacrificed for her brother; Wolfgang, whose growing desire for freedom puts him at odds with his domineering father; and Anna, who must find an outlet for her creativity in the service of others. It is a story full of domestic betrayal and heroism.
