✨Thank you, Ru, for sharing your insights and vivacious personality with us throughout the week. Thank you The Creative Writing Programs at Hamline University for hosting Ru and filling the well of creativity for MFA and BFA students, faculty, and staff. Thank you to all who bought copies of Ru's stunning short story collection SLEEPING ALONE from Graywolf Press, and to Ru for extending the interview with audience members as she signed copies.❤️

It's a cold one today in Minnesota. What a perfect time to check out this week's Wednesday suggestion from student editor Austin:

"The second book in Stephen Aryan's Quest for Heroes series, 'The Warrior' pulls you along effortlessly with witty dialogue and humor that sucks you into the story. The characters feel so human and relatable. And none of the characters are necessarily heroes, but just people who decide to make heroic choices."
