Andrée Seu began writing nineteen years ago after an aspiring writer moved in next door. On the occasion of her daughter’s shedding a baby tooth, her neighbor dropped a poem in her mailbox. Andrée cried on the spot at the sheer beauty of it. Encouraged, her young neighbor started writing more and depositing poems, then essays, then short stories on the porch after dark. This “box” tradition continued for a few years and became Andrée’s personal school of writing.
Beth Kephart went on to be a semi-finalist for the National Book Award for her book
A Slant of Sun: One Child's Courage
