Reviews

Divergent Writers is a welcome acknowledgement that 1 in 4 of us will become disabled for at least 3 months before we retire and that about twenty percent of us are neurodivergent. This book tells the important truth: we’re not all the same as each other, we’re each not the same as we were a few years ago, and that variety and variability is exactly what makes creative writing and the literature we produce exciting, relevant, and worthwhile for humanity. This anthology is an rousing breakthrough for a field that—thankfully—keeps evolving. * • Anna Leahy, Director of Tabula Poetica and Editor of Tab Journal, Chapman University, USA *
