Inflorescence

More about the book

Creativity. It blossoms out like the inflorescence - a stem, splitting a dozen times into buds that bloom into flowers. So, too, do the ideas of our imagination bloom into something beautiful. This, our eighth anthology, is a collection of original stories, poems, and plays gathered for your enjoyment. Some carry the weight of a broken world within the folds of the petals. Others star-seek, wander in nature, or grow above a precious burial, but all arise from that singular inflorescence. The Creative Writing Students at La Quinta High School in Westminster, California, have curated a beloved garden for your enjoyment. After staying inside for so long, it's refreshing to finally go outside. The scent of the blossoms, the breeze on your skin, the sunlight on your face. Let's keep walking towards whatever comes next.
