An “emergency anthology” of Minnesota writers, “Ice Out: Minnesota Writers Rising Up,” which bears witness to the Minnesota ICE surge, is announced via Facebook by Ian Graham Leask, publisher at Afton Press and Calumet Editions, joint sponsors of the book scheduled to be available in Kindle and paperback editions and in bookstores. “Thanks to all the generous writers who responded to our call to write against a tight deadline and compose potentially the most important work of their lives,” Leask writes.
Adam B. Perry, a Minneapolis resident, is featured in the current issue of “Kaleidoscope: Exploring the Experience of Disability through Literature and the Fine Arts.” His creative nonfiction essay “Falling Forward” appears in Issue 92, themed “Seasons.” The work was selected from more than 400 submissions considered for the award-winning publication from United Disability Services. Perry’s essay explores how he overcomes fear when lost or stumbling over the unseen because of blindness. He views disability as an alternative life experience filled with challenge and reward.
