SCPS Student Publishes Second Book

Living their dream of being a writer, SCPS Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies student, Dan Rice, is publishing a second book. Inspired by the colloquial phrase, “I know it like the back of my hand,” Rice’s creative memoir, “The Back of My Hand,” is an exploration into identity and how well we really know ourselves. While blurring the lines between poetry, prose, and poetic prose, the text weaves together mental health, coming out and spirituality.
