Featuring Taalam Acey
“The writer is an acrobat performing that delicate balancing act that allows the imagination to leap out of dailiness and the many specialized areas of modern life and create something new and fresh, something that will help us see our individual stories as part of a greater whole. Each reaches into the many faceted world and creates a world.”
