SEEDS
Thornwillow’s first-ever fine press edition of "SEEDS" was originally offered as part of the August 2023 Dispatch.
This publication is offered in two editions:
- Classic Edition: Copies bound in letterpress paper wrappers
- Patrons’ Edition: Volumes featuring deluxe letterpress paper wrappers
The first in our cohort of 2023 Patrons’ Prize Winners, this saga of one family’s journey spans three generations and two nations. “SEEDS” follows Pietro Lunapiena as he grows up on the northwestern coast of Italy, falls in love, and makes his way, alongside his wife and their close friends, to Brooklyn.
Touching on the complexities of living and loving in a new environment and coming to terms with the legacies of harsh parenting, “SEEDS” is a beautiful and nuanced story of family and the ties that bind us.
Bette Ann Moskowitz is the author of three novels and three works of non-fiction. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, Review of Contemporary Fiction, American Book Review, as well as other publications, and her popular blog, Vinegar Mother has appeared every Monday for the last five years.
Moskowitz is a former New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow in Literary Non-fiction and finalist in the same category. She has taught writing at Queens College in New York City, as well as in various workshops and master classes. She loves polarities: the nobody with the soul of a superstar, the unnoticed moment that changes the world, secrets in plain sight, the collisions of funny and sad. She lives in New York’s Hudson Valley.
