Caleb Azumah Nelson
“Is there a greater flex than love?”
Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

Roxane Gay

I want to challenge students and be challenged. I don't want to shape their opinions. I want to shape how they articulate and support those opinions.”
Roxane Gay, Opinions: A Decade of Arguments, Criticism, and Minding Other People’s Business

John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck, East of Eden
