The Unexpected Sky is the second anthology of poetry, short fiction, screenplay, and memoir by twenty-one participants in InkWell Workshops, an innovative project that offers creative-writing workshops to people with “unruly minds”—lived experience of mental-health and addictions issues—led by award-winning professional writers who have lived experience themselves. These vibrant voices will take you to new, exciting places. We can’t wait for you to discover them.
