We would all sit around a table late into the night probing and questioning – and, best of all, honoring – each other's work; never proscribing, but empathizing with each individual writer, and holding a mirror up to their work. What we have come away with is five books that could hardly be more different from each other!It was my pleasure to review Dustin's book for the collaborative online magazine, MONOLOGGING.
