Touch Grass: Antelope Hill Writing Competition 2023

Description

What motivates us to live life to the fullest, to engage in the real world beyond the all-encompassing technology of our modern age?

What began as a meme to address this question, "Touch Grass" has become the prompt for this year's writing contest, drawing contributions from authors who have all shared a piece of themselves in response.

While some of the writings in this book address the prompt more literally with poems and short stories about nature, others focus on a variety of accomplishments, struggles, and real-life experiences of all kinds. A handful of these works have been selected for special honors as winners, but all included deserve recognition for their contributions and creativity. Many exceptional authors submitted excellent work, and it was a difficult task to restrict the book to only what is contained here.

Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present the selected works of our Third Annual Writing Contest: Touch Grass, generously sponsored in part by Will2Rise and Media2Rise.
