@alexboydwriter.bsky.social's TAKE THIS FOR THE PAIN (@palimpsestpress.bsky.social) pulls from twenty-five years of essays, articles, and reviews to explore how art and culture can reinforce ideas of identity and promote social change. Read an excerpt from the book at alllitup.ca/excerpted-ta...
A graphic featuring the cover of Alex Boyd's TAKE THIS FOR THE PAIN (Palimpsest Press) against a static background of dark teal. The cover of the book is a tan colour with the title and author name left-aligned from top to bottom in a sans-serif font. The title is black and the author name is teal. On the right upper portion over the cover is an illustration of a prescription pad. Written in place of the prescription is the book's subtitle "Essays on Writing and Life." Below this in the lower right of the cover is an illustration in dark brown of a human brain.

I love that Will Forte could literally do anything and he chooses to make indie Irish films about ghosts and satanic spells. Extra Ordinary was delightful.
