Meet the writers of Ann Arbor. With an unmatched wit and literary determination, their stories and poetry compose a formidable collection of written work. Read on to find water waiting to boil, a plate filled with jalapeños, chemical reactions, souvenirs, and a baby kangaroo.

From the foreword by Kathryn Harrison: “Reading this collection of work from writers whose work I knew beforehand and from the generation of poets, essayists, fiction writers, and dramatists who will step forward to take our place has made me feel better about the compulsion that has eclipsed other, more gainful employment to become my life's work. It's reminded me that writers, and readers, are necessary, and that anything can and does happen on the page.”
