My Slipper Floated Away is an anthology of fresh, compelling essays written by students at Lehman College in the Bronx. The writers are immigrants or the children of immigrants and/or POC.

The stories reveal the writers' intense longing to belong in America and their passion to succeed in this country, while dealing with myriad challenges.

*Why anti? This goes against what textbooks of writing have done to students - told them there are rules, that their writing is “poor” when really their backgrounds have brought a different language to them.

Same for their abilities, mental and physical. Same for their gender.

Writing Guide with Handbook aligns to the goals, topics, and objectives of many first-year writing and composition courses. It is organized according to relevant genres, and focuses on the writing process, effective writing practices or strategies.
