Nearly two years prior to his death in 2013, Norbert invited some of his long-time students (all accomplished writers themselves) to contribute essays to a book he intended to write about his years as a teacher at e Clearing. The book would be his personal perspectives on teaching, students, and the importance of place, specifically The Clearing. The Professor's Quarters is a collection of those student essays compiled and edited by long-time Blei students and writers: Alice D'Alessio, Albert DeGenova, Jude Genereaux, and Susan O'Leary. This is a book about love. The love of a teacher, a place, and the writing life.
