"Spinning Toward the Sun is exactly the anthology I was looking for when planning book adoptions for my composition class. I was hoping to find an anthology with well-written essays that would empower students in their own writing, and this book more than delivers! These excellently crafted essays, written by diverse authors on a range of topics related to the craft of writing, have not only resonated strongly with students but have also helped build community in the classroom!"
