Praise for Ace Baker’s Storytelling
“His style dances between poetic beauty and the rawness of human experience.”
“...rich with new perspectives on love, death, and the day-to-day business of living.”
“The language is poetic, a blessing to read, with repetitions and recurring motifs... curiosity calls you back.”
Ace Baker is a writer, poet, and writing coach from Vancouver, Canada. His short story, "Victory Girl," won the Storyteller Award, and another, "Menos Coca, Más Cacao" won the Blank Spaces short fiction contest, "The Things We Leave Behind," and was published in an anthology by the same name. His poetry has won the SIWC, PNWA, and Magpie awards, among others. Both his prose and poetry have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and National Magazine Awards.
