🫶🫶🫶 thank you to @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social for the early read and blurb! grab Family Night here: masonjarpress.com/chapbooks-1/...

A bright pink-red background with the cover of Family Night and white text as follows:

“Ani King’s stunning debut, FAMILY NIGHT, is a triumph of the short form. Their prose sparks and bleeds off every page, riddled with the hard, tender truths of the very relationships that fill us with love and send us spinning all in the same breath. A masterful queering of narrative in every sense, FAMILY NIGHT blends what we think we know to be real with what we can barely hold onto: worlds where mothers are wolves, sisters raise unicorns, and daughters piss on walls like rabbits. ‘I am used to no warning, used to hitting the surface hard, and used to sinking to the bottom…’ says one narrator, evoking the necessary gut-punch of King’s unforgettable collection.” --Allison Field Bell, author of All That Blue and Bodies of Other Women

I just finished @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social's chapbook, published by @chestnutreview.bsky.social, and if there are chapbook awards, this should win them all. I loved every individual story, but more than that, the collective reading experience left me feeling both hollow and grounded. (more...)

I never linked this piece on social media because I was worried about what men might see it and if one of the men in one of the stories might come across it. I was scared of them but I was also protecting them. I’m done with that now. www.aqreview.org/vol-38-numbe...

"I don’t water her. She drinks up all the whiskey from my blood. She lays into me about hydration, about exercise. She says she can feel the state of my lungs" Great use of extended metaphor in this from @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social; such a creatively rich piece of flash

My favorite thing to do when writing flash is whatever someone says we “can’t” or “shouldn’t” so this is gonna be so fun to co-teach with @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social! It is in fact easier to obliterate a rule when you understand it really well - come find out!
