This non-fiction essay, “Avoiding Failure,” appeared recently in Causeway Lit, the online journal published by graduate students of the Fairfield University (Connecticut) Master of Fine Arts program.

I wish everyome in this divided country would read “Avoiding Failure.” Strong message, with just enough bacon-flavor.
