Seasons of Life
Seasons of Life is about the changes we all go through in this journey known as life, from birth and childhood, “Spring,” to the end of our time here on Earth, “Winter,” and the “seasons” in-between that make up the tapestry of our existence. Check out the great reviews in the sidebar!
The poetry, essays, and short stories in this anthology weave their way through the stages of our lives, the seasons of the year… the Seasons of Life.
Seasons of Life is the second Anthology from Writing at the Ledges. This is its first printing and is now available for purchase!

Living in Michigan allows us the opportunity to embrace the seasons in all their splendor. This anthology, a showcase of 24 talented Mid-Michigan authors from Writing at the Ledges, combines the changing of the seasons with the changes we experience in life. Follow along from the renewal of spring, to summer’s promise of hope, through autumn’s vibrancy, and the inevitability of winter.
Reviews and Press Releases
From Bill Castanier of the Lansing City Pulse on 3-9-2011:
Nearly seven decades separate the oldest writer from the youngest in the new collection of short stories, essays and poems, and among the 24 contributors represented in the book, almost half are first-timers, according to Rosalie Petrouske, co-founder of the group.
Dividing the book into four sections allowed the writers to represent the changes they’ve experienced in life, according to Petrouske. An introduction describes the organization as following the renewal of spring to summer’s promise of hope, through autumn’s vibrancy and the inevitability of winter. Petrouske has contributed poems to all four of the seasons.
Several of the works, including those by first-timer Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and veteran Randy D. Pearson, successfully weave humor into their pieces.
