Indeterminate Inflorescence

Iridescent and intransigently nuanced, these aphorisms collected by students show the worldly intelligence of an inspiring teacher and a highly accomplished poet. The wisdom encoded in this book challenges us to rethink our craft as writers and our preconceptions as readers. It’s a book I’ll keep returning to year after year

Kit Fan
