Out today!! “Come Again No More is simply the best work of Southern literature I’ve ever read, a story so lyrical and lovingly drawn – and spit-take funny – that the ghost of William Faulkner might just throw rocks at his best work. I read the book in a day, and I never do that.”

This is from the poem “Agatha at Dawn” in AGATHA. The poem begins, “& then we’re trying / on the molecules / of sainthood, delivering / ourselves to the gods / of caffeine.”

AGATHA is officially out in the world Oct 13 from @jacklegpress.bsky.social
