It’s publication day! My book, “The Bright Edges of the World: Willa Cather and Her Archbishop,” is out today. #booksky #willacather
I published an essay on Medium called "Willa Cather Didn't Stay in Her Lane - and Neither Should You."
This is about writing beyond your lived experience, writing inclusively and respectfully for one's subject. This is about NOT staying in your lane, but experiencing all of humanity.
