For the second year in a row, Terry Lee Marzell, author of Chalkboard Champions and Chalkboard Heroes, announces that two of her short pieces have been included in an anthology published by The Inlandia Institute. The anthology, entitled 2021 Writing from Inlandia, was just released in November, 2022. Terry is among some 61 contributors to the collection, which features poetry, nonfiction, and fiction selections.

The first piece, “A Sewing Machine,” explores Terry’s personal recollections with the lost art of sewing, including how her mother sewed her clothes when she was an elementary school student, and how she sewed her own wardrobe as a high school student. The second piece, “My Introduction to French Cuisine,” also nonfiction, describes a dish that Terry sampled while on a tour of France, and then how she tried to re-create it when she returned home.
