Tomorrow Helen Frost will be joining the discussion of her book
*Crossing Stones*. We encourage you to take advantage of her involvement by posing questions about this book that merges a strong narrative with a distinctive poetry structure.

Helen, as I read *Crossing Stones *I wondered how you kept all those balls (singular characters who develop over the course of the story, a detailed historical framework, complex poetry forms) in the air simultaneously. Do you start with one of those elements and work out from there?
