Don’t Judge: A Very Angry Baby
I’ll be honest – one reason it’s taken me a long time to get to this anthology is what I expected it to be about: babies, mommies, dads, the experience of young nuclear and maybe post-nuclear families. While I have

Swallowed Birds: Rosarium (Hannah Dow)
In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll say right off the bat that Hannah and I were in the same workshop, in the same graduate program, for a bit, and so I know her personally, and I’ve seen a

Let’s String New Constellations: “As In Judy” by Rosie Garland
The first time I met Rosie Garland was on my reading tour for The Knowledge Weapon, back in 2016. She read with me in Manchester, at the university bookstore, and one poem in particular (“A Short History of Unicorns”) really

Reading Mary Gaitskill’s Bad Behavior
I just finished Mary Gaitskill’s short story collection Bad Behavior. This is a book I came across fairly at random: I found this one in my local little free library in Bochum, Germany yesterday.
