Teacher's controversial memoir finds a new publisher

No, it isn't Skyhorse.

But a small press has picked up poet and teacher Kate Clanchy's controversial memoir, Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me, which was dropped by her original publisher last month.

The Guardian reports that Swift Press has released Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me as an ebook, because "it is our fundamental view as a publisher that readers should be able to make up their own minds."

Clanchy has added a new afterword to this edition, which also omits the passages that readers pointed out as racist and ableist.
