“I chose this title for my class because Tell Your Story Walking, to me, captures a vital truth about writing or any creative work: the best writing is about exploring, searching for understanding… finding the story. A great story is not a summary or recap- it’s a journey of discovery for both the author and the reader. It’s not stationary; we are walking through experiences as they unfold, and reckoning with what they mean.”

We couldn’t have done it without you!

“My brother is up to bat, but I’m not watching

“My brother is up to bat, but I’m not watching him. I’m gazing across the dusty baseball diamond, past the plastic astroturf fields they say give you cancer if you spend too long on them, at the tie-dye skyline. I’m listening to the hum of the Virginia cicadas, the song they sing on June evenings.” Excerpt from "Isolated Power" by Zoe Glasser. This piece is an example of a lyrical essay.
