About Home
28 authors explore hope and loss, promises kept and promises broken in their own personal search for home.
The anthology includes 40 works representing a wide range of Minnesota experiences and voices, urban to rural, historical to present day. Celebrating the feeling of connection to a community, the beauty of the north woods, struggling to find a way to keep our hard-earned home, or carving out a home in a sometimes hostile land, Home is a truly American story.
100 percent of profits go to Alliance Housing http://www.alliancehousinginc.org/, a Minneapolis non-profit dedicated to making it possible for individuals and families to create homes for themselves, regardless of income and background.
“Alliance Housing enjoyed working with Flexible Press on its Home: An Anthology. Not only did they share their profits with our affordable housing nonprofit, they organized a reading by many of the writers for our donors and tenants. It was a lovely event and really connected many people who had experienced housing instability or the power of home with our mission.”
—Barbara Jeanetta, Executive Director, Alliance Housing Inc.
