Lest the Colors Fade is an interesting anthology of stories (both fiction and nonfiction), poems and memoirs. This is the Writers’ Discussion Group’s fourth publication. The authors of the stories, poems and memoirs are as diverse as their writing. They come from all over the United States and represent many different backgrounds. Some of them are Northerners who settled in the South, some are from the middle and the far west, some have European backgrounds. Some are Southerners by birth or by long time residency.
