A Jar of Water recalls moments of cherished friendships, exhilarating hijinks, heart-stopping grief, and the power of healing love.
Overarching are reverent observations of land, sea, and sky and the people who inhabit them, while haiku poems, sprinkled throughout, mimic the repetition of waves, offering an enriching cadence to the reading.
Invited to write in youth by his beloved Aunt Dotsie, Anderson has spent a lifetime composing—stories that are poetic and poems that are stories. A Jar of Water offers readers a view of gilded mornings, a taste of salted fog, and an experience to savor: the overarching beauty of pausing in the moment.
A Jar of Water is available in paperback and Kindle editions.
