    Rodney Cimburke

    I'm almost 40. I am married to the best graphic designer I know and we have three very odd and lovable children. I have always written, and I s'pose I always will. A few of my fave writers are: Cormac McCarthy, Hemingway, Junot Diaz, Gertrude Stein, London, Henry James, Dickens. I prefer literary writing - forms in which the language is just as important as the subject matter. I am currently studying Lit. and Creative Writing at the University of Oregon, and hope to be accepted into their prestigious MFA program for the latter. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

      The Library of Gromma

      Zac was sweating and panting as he reached the top of the hill. The crooked beams of the library loomed over him. He dropped the buckets of water, swore at the few drops that spilled, and escaped the piercing morning sun in the shade of the library.
