Strange coins, crumpled paper, antique watches - a few of many little treasures shipped to a curious collective of writers, challenging them to tell us a story. The writers of the Damn Book Done group had Writerly Kits in common, a subscription box that arrived full of items to inspire their writing. They also shared a desire to spend time with their words, sneaking past inner critics, perfectionism, and all that can stop them, to get their damn books done. It seemed only right that they got one damn book done together, don't you think? And here it is, a collection of poetry and prose prompted by those treasures that landed in the writers' mailboxes.
