How could anyone resist that? I would give so many opportunities a good home!! I like that "remember to hang your jul shar" could read as a threat as well as a reminder of the joyous season. Jul shark would want me to get that writer in residence gig.

and the RIDICULOUS gratitude I felt to the two people in my undergrad who offered to write me letters without me asking. What generous blessings they both were.

It's such an excellent hit on both the NYTimes AND Trumpists. Well done!

Transitive Properties of Cheese by Ann LeBlanc.
I liked A LOT of Pyshopomp titles, but especially From These Dark Abodes by Lyndsie Manusos
In the Shadow of the Fall - Tobi Ogundarian
Out of the Drowning Deep - A.C. Wise (also her other novella Grackle: a beautiful physical piece of art)
I'll stop!

I really enjoyed The Annual Migration of Clouds by Premee Mohamed (2021). I also think Rebel Seoul by Axie Oh (2017) should've gotten more attention.
