For authoritarians and their supporters, book banning is the floor. They've yet to define the ceiling. What other forms of creative expression will be next on their hit list: music, theater, paintings, sculpture? When we lose our intellectual freedom, we lose our democracy. This collection of short stories, poetry, flash fiction, and essays highlights everything that is beautiful in the written word. Through this body of work, Wild Ink Publishing is taking a stand against book banning. We invite you to stand with us. Wild Ink will donate 50% of all revenue from the sale of this collection to the American Library Association to help fight this injustice.
