The poets, fiction writers, and essayists (plus one graphic novelist) who contributed to Welcome to the Neighborhood don't necessarily offer roadmaps to harmonious neighboring. Some of their narrators don't even want to be neighbors. Maybe they grieve, or rage. Maybe they briefly find resolution or community. But they do approach the question of what it means to be neighbors, and how we should do it, with open minds and nuance. The many diverse contributors give this collection a depth beyond easy answers. Their attentions to the theme of neighborliness as an ongoing evolution offer hope to readers: possible pathways for rediscovering community, even just by way of a shared wish for it. The result is an enormously rich resource for the classroom and for anyone interested in reflecting on what it means to be American today, and how place and community play a part"--Provided by publisherNeighborlinessLiterary collectionsCommunity lifeLiterary collectionsAmerican literature21st centuryNeighborlinessCommunity lifeAmerican literature810.80355Green Sarah Elizabeth1980-Baker DavidMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813892903321Welcome to the neighborhood4055145UNINA
