Sentence-combining is a well-established technique that has been utilized by high school teachers and college professors over the past three decades. The strategy helps writers develop specific detail and craft fluid, cohesive prose. Although this text is a sentence-combining handbook, it is also a celebration of Cleveland -- the city's rich history, loyal sports fans, cutting-edge medical technology, flourishing arts, and local music scene. Throughout the book, sixteen poems by Lou Suarez are paired with photographic art by Diane Seskes.
