Why Literary Communities Matter
On a hot Monday afternoon, a group of educators met at Crazy Story Books, Red Bank’s beautiful new Indie bookstore, for quiet reading and writing.
Surrounded by shelves full of books, we flipped through pages—reading and finding words and phrases that resonated—and then put pen to paper, capturing our thoughts and imaginations. Many of us had never met before, but in the two short hours, as we shared our stories, we created an immediate bond with one another.
