"As the brown-robed friars gently and silently ushered us single-file around the crypt, a seated man suddenly cried out 'Aiutami, San Francesco!' ”

Congrats to alum Michele Corrigan on her first publication, an essay that was part of her PRWR thesis.

To quote from the book, which quotes a creative writing prof: "Literature should be challenging."

[Matt Lee @Gallows_Ticket]

Publishers Weekly calls The Backwards Hand a "raw, discomfiting, sometimes-jarring, one-of-a-kind autobiography."

Hooray, @MichalskiJen (PRWR '96)!

[TU PRWR @tu_prwr]

If you haven't gotten a look, here's the cover for my very first novella, THE COSMIC COLOR, coming from @neonhemlock coming later this year! Art by @btrcp_ !

[TU PRWR @tu_prwr]

"I’m posing the question throughout the book: What makes a monster? How do we define a monster? What is the relationship between the monster and the disabled body? How has our society conflated the two?"

Excited to read this book by one of alumni? We are.
