Winner of the Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize"Lost River has the feel of an instant classic." Anthony McGowan, Carnegie Medal Winner.Lost River is the story of the Van Beest family, which inherits a house at the edge of a magical forest where the dead return from the afterlife. When 10-year-old Anne's mother, a midwife, delivers a stillborn baby and her father, a mortician, accidentally brings that infant back to life, the Van Beests find themselves at the center of a drama that raises questions about the relationship between the living and the dead.

Takes the advancement of science, the preservation of human morale and the observation of the human condition and places it under a microscope. Shearin's artful word choice and prose phrasing makes her poems come alive.

Faith Shearin's latest poetry collection, Telling the Bees, is evidence of an ongoing, important talent. The author of three previous collections of poetry, the most recent, Moving the Piano, was featured on numerous occasions on Garrison Keillor's The Writer's Almanac.

The poems in this collection were written over a period of three years, on the island of Kitty Hawk, with the help of grants from the NEA and the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund. They contain the images, emotions and ideas that the poet finds most compelling and moving.
