Reflecting on James Salter

Thanks to American Short Fiction for publishing this wonderful reflection on the work of James Salter, who passed away in June. I'm grateful to have my own response to his work included alongside so many fantastic writers. Last fall I was able to meet Salter and his wonderful wife Kay, who was kind enough to take this photograph. Still can't believe he's gone.

Thanks to Dr. Jeff Doty for a great event at West Texas A&M. It was beautiful there!

A visit with Commonwealth Academy

After speaking to our High School students about his academic journey with ADHD, Timothy Denevi takes a few minutes with us to record an interview. His reflections underscore the importance of an academic environment that not only embraces, but is specifically constructed to address the many different ways students learn.

Thanks to the talented students at Commonwealth Academy for making this great video about Hyper. It was a wonderful visit!
