“When I’m in a bad mood, I come here. Mostly people just pass through, like a Murnau film.

broke in upon the stage through that fissure
where you’d left: green of real green,

💥 for those maybe interested in teaching Great Disasters in the classroom (or out of it :)
Great Disasters is a stirring debut novel about six young men coming of age, and the enduring friendships that make us who we are—even as our paths diverge.
Read a letter for educators from @gradychambers87, author of Great Disasters.

“It’s 5 below zero in Iowa City tonight.
This year I found a warm room
That I could go to
be alone in
& never have to fight.”
