<p>American Renaissance for the Twenty-first Century (ART), a nonprofit arts foundation, has announced the winners of the Silver Rose Award for Excellence in the Art of the Short Story. Stories selected to receive this prestigious honor were chosen from over 1000 short stories published during 2001 in large, well-known magazines and in small, lesser-known journals and webzines. In all, twelve authors were chosen by ART to receive the Silver Rose Award for Excellence in the Art of the Short Story. These "one dozen silver roses" are now available in ART’s inaugural publication of SILVER ROSE ANTHOLOGY: Award-Winning Short Stories 2001, the first in an annual anthology series that will feature short stories from twelve authors who have earned ART’s newest award. ART is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts foundation with a stated mission to "promote a rebirth of beauty and life-affirming values in all of the fine arts." The Silver Rose is ART’s symbol of beauty, and the Silver Rose Award for Excellence in the Art of the Short Story was created to honor writers of exceptional short stories that, one way or another, embody this mission.</p>

<p>"Over the Years" Poems, Lyrics, Songs and Prose presents Alexandra York's passions and eloquense in a new complilation of her work, encompassing the wide range of her visions and the variety of forms in which she has written. The 23 poems and 13 lyrics and songs (featuring pull-out sheet music!) are distilled versions of her deep sensitive thoughts. The large body of prose includes everything from short fiction, myth and a children's book to articles on art and politics (and cars!) to art exhibit catalogue essays to exerpts from beauty books and four novels. Some of the works have been published in various other venues; some make their debut here, but within these pages we witness the transition from performer to creator and from intellectual to intimate explorations. The variety of her work is fascinating but the consistency of her mind--unity within the variety-- is even more compelling, for everything she writes expresses her undying allegiance to her core values system and an adventurous tenacity to probe the burning issues of our time and place as a culture. Whether celebrating love and joy or empathizing with loss and pain, the selection of work in "Over the Years" offers beauty and well-studied thoughts as well as lighthearted fun, whimsy and entertainment, for York's themes, always contemplative and motivational, inspire readers not only to find pleasure and meaning in all forms of the written word but also to challenge the cynical concepts of the sensationalist, nihilistic, popular anti-culture in which we now live and to choose a path of individualism, integrity and pursuit of the best.</p>
