Nakadegawa-Lee

Classroom guide and introduction written by author inside. A HEART FULL OF HALLWAYS is about being young and unsure and American. It’s at once a rallying cry written in the language of a nature poem, and an earnest look at what it feels like to be lost inside one’s own head. Walking the line between external and internal experiences, this collection wants to talk about what it means to be human.
