Do Not Read Out Loud

Another bold step for Salem, another giant leap for Reviews! Here, I take a look at the work of another beloved mentor and wonderful professor. Laurie Uttich has done more than just teach me the art of Creative Nonfiction--she's taught me how to accept and love my own story.

The Heaven of Animals

My boldness knows no bounds when I attempt to review the work of the man who taught me how to write. The Heaven of Animals by David James Poissant proves the short story isn't a dead art, and I got one hell of an education.
