Words to Paint With comprises work by award-winning writers across the state of Utah working in prose and poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Each piece in this collection has its own style and theme--help yourself to mystery, tragedy, history, levity. On one page you will find yourself on a roadtrip to nostalgia. On the pages that follow you will gaze out on dystopian futurescapes. Along the way, hear the roar of a mighty river, bear witness to a priceless gift, mourn for fallen heroes, and see great cities on fire. And although each voice is quite distinct, if you listen closely you'll notice each speaks with the same passion for writing. Read carefully, and see the words they paint with.

"The artist in our time has two chief responsibilities: 
(1) art; and (2) sedition." 
- Edward Abbey 
Whether or not an artist intends to do so when creating their work, art—and especially writing—has a profound impact on our history, our communities, and our trajectory as a society. Writers have played a critical role in pushing back against tyranny and authoritarianism through poetry, newspapers, songs, firsthand narratives, and even fiction. Put simply, writing can change the world. 
While some change is on a grand scale, other change is more personal, impacting the direction of one life at a time for better or for worse. The poems and stories in Art & Sedition explore the sparks ignited by art and artists in fictional worlds, the here and now, and possible futures that feel all too near. 
Featuring New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole 
With fiction and poetry by C.W. Allen, Bradley S. Blanchard, Abby Feenstra, Alexis Hansen, C.R. Langille, Brooke J Losee, J.L. Milligan, Margot Monroe, Willy Palomo, Talysa Sainz, Johnny Worthen, Bryan Young, and J.E. Zarnofsky
