Congratulations to @asuenglish.bsky.social MFA alum @haydenmcasey13.bsky.social, whose debut novel A HARVEST OF FURIES is out today! (True story: in his last MFA semester, Hayden told me he was going to draft this novel in three chunks, delivering me 22,000 words per thesis meeting... and then did!)
