This was another AWP book fair find of mine, bought solely based on the amazing cover, and I'm glad I did! Reading the bios of all the contributors first made this collection of poetry, short stories, flash fiction, and one screen play a lot more fun to read. The topics are vast and varied but grouped by theme. You'll turn into a bear, tackle a dangerous kickstarter game, explore the concept of 'ugly' with aliens, and a whole lot more!
