Powerful poetry interspered between heroic tales. From high fantasy to everyday life, authors create, or simply bring to the spotlight, their own heros. This book is a beautiful mix of flying space cars, LA neighborhoods, assassins growing conciousness, and risking everything for a better life.

From the publisher: “Based thematically and formally on Joseph Campbell's monomyth (as detailed in his The Hero With a Thousand Faces), Sheep Can't Fly is 826LA's largest and most ambitious publication yet; it is comprised of essays exploring the nature of the hero, poems on the stages of the hero's quest, and short stories covering the entirety of the hero's journey. The book features writing on determination, triumph, and redemption; short stories about lovable ne'er-do-wells and a diminutive yet ambitious alien scientist; and a talking ferret and squirrel.
