excited to have a review forthcoming in mid-October of Kate Colby’s utterly excellent new book Paradoxx! @essaypress.bsky.social
Chilly days are coming. Ghoulish nights are afoot. October’s Afterimages will have a rare 5-piece roster of primarily fiction, a memoir, and a book review. Just remember: you’re not seeing double (or a ghost) just simply quality literature. @tomsnarsky.bsky.social @hughbehmsteinberg.bsky.social

Coming next week!

A one-hundred-day chronicle of a dark period in her life, Kate Colby’s tightly-wound lyric essay is also a poet’s memoir of growing up in the late 20th century and stumbling into the 21st.

The Garden is out on September 30th! Copublished with @pamenarpress.bsky.social

Refusing to stabilize the first-person and rejecting linear progression, The Garden embraces the vulnerable porousness of selves in the overflow of history that is the violence and rapture of the ongoing “now.”
