And Sean Rowe explains why, if you \u003cem\u003emust\u003c\/em\u003e get arrested, Selma, Alabama, is the place to do it. This exciting and expansive array of works and voices is sure to impress and delight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGutkind, Lee:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLee Gutkind\u003c\/strong\u003e is the founder and editor of the literary journal \u003cem\u003eCreative Nonfiction\u003c\/em\u003e and a pioneer in the field of narrative nonfiction.
