Peynado forces us to see the world with all its imperfections she never shies away from the unpleasant issues that challenge our daily lives. The first story in Brenda Peynado’s The Rock Eaters, “Thoughts and Prayers,” opens with the sentence, “The morning before the school shooting passed like any other, all my neighbors out at dawn performing oblations to the angels on our roofs.” The subject of the first half of the sentence feels sadly familiar to us. They are best read with a buddy, so please persuade your friends to read The Rock Eaters and to chat about them with you in your chapters and in “Colorful Colorado.” While these stories could be described as colorful, they can also be exhilarating, thought-provoking, and, at times, terrifying. Nothing in this non-discrimination statement shall require Barry University to act in a manner contrary to the beliefs and teachings of the Catholic Church or the University mission statement.The Denver 2023 Convention features Brenda Peynado’s wonderful short story collection The Rock Eaters.
