The Uses of Tragedy: Why Fiction Writers Shouldn't Fear Darkness

Of course, nonfiction can do the same, as can poetry, but the narrative element of walking an… Continue

THE UGLY AMERICANS
NEW REVIEW OF SLAVES TO DO THESE THINGS by Bobbi Lurie @ Jacket Magazine”
Amy King’s poems are dense and energetically written. They are often fragmented collages of narratives which are in no way narratives in the usual sense. They express a great deal of movement of the mind, written with a strong imagination and unexpected twists.

NEW REVIEW OF SLAVES TO DO THESE THINGS @ WET ASPHALT —

THE GURLESQUE -- Not Enough GRRRL?
My Visceral Thought
I can’t help it. I keep saying I won’t write this post.
