Oh! This book is feeding my soul so much right now. I’ve been flooded in since Wednesday and down with a bad back, but the essays collected in this anthology benefitting Asheville’s recovery after the devastation of Hurricane Helene lift me up and float hope for my own writing.✍️ Go to Bookshop.org

Working at the upstairs desk because it’s January 2025 and hell appears to be freezing over. Too damn cold!🥶

And still the snow falls, the woods already white. We watch in wonder.❄️
