I wrote an essay for the anthology on creativity titled “Limits Expand Creativity”, and my quilt Flying Triangles is on the back cover of the book.

This book is part of Yvette’s How To series which includes the books that she edited that are also multiple contributor anthologies:

This Is How We Grow: Stories and Poems for Perspective Taking

This Is How We Work: Stories, Memoirs and Poems about Social Dimensions of Work

THIS IS HOW WE EAT: STORIES ABOUT FOOD CULTURE AND CONNECTION

This is How We Create: Stories about Bringing Ideas to Life

Here are the links to various Amazon stores by region in case you’d like a Kindle or paperback version of the book (courtesy of Dr. Yvette Prior):

I cannot wait to hold a copy of the book in my hand! I’ve reviewed the various drafts with the excellent collection of essays about creating but there will be something so special to read it as a physical book (though Kindle is awesome too!)

  2. Hello T, thank you so much again for being part of this book and bringing your thoughts about what fuels some of your creativity. Also, I agree with you about holding a tangible book. I am grateful for e-books and audio versions – but some paperback books are a must and this is the kind of book that is great to have in the hands!

      1. Yes, and I appreciate how patient the early authors were – because half of you had the chapters done and ready to go a while back. But launching the book this month was so sweet in timing (Sweet September) and confirmed the little delay was exactly what was needed – and three of the chapters were only finalized in August – so yeah, I am glad for the idea of the delay – anyhow hope you have a great weekend

  13. Congratulations, buddy author!! This is my second anthology contribution with Yvette and it has been a fantastic process that has inspired me. But I have been so busy I haven’t had time to order my copy yet. Thanks for providing those links.. I fully agree, I like a physical copy.
