Best of Hot Metal Bridge 2007-2020: An Aster(ix) Anthology, Summer 2021 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942547143)

"As a collective, we returned to and nurtured our love of reading as well as the craft of storytelling during the global pandemic. Remembering, as one student shared, that "writing has truly been our bridge over troubled waters," we meditated and spent time in the tangle of emotions and circumstances of the average life in what is now the new normal. Engaging such feelings as desire, frustration, and being "washed in loneliness," as writer Tara Isabel Zambrano would phrase it, we committed to the task of fully embodying what it is to be human, celebrating our moments of triumph and evolution."
