Writing in Place: Stories from the Pandemic–just published!
I’m happy to announce the publication of the first anthology released by Mars Street Press. It’s a literary journal with stories and essays by my private workshop students and me. Everyone worked so hard to make this book happen. It’s dedicated to my father-in-law, Richard Dale Barrett, who died from COVID-19 in July. My son Travis created the fantastic cover and did the layout. My student, Amelia Dellos, titled it (and took the photo below right). If you’re looking for a book to read, or are shopping for the readers on your gift list, or just want to read more about the book, please click here.
