Whisperings of poetry slither through Hazel’s day-to-day life, infecting everything. What’s real? What’s not? Why is everyone she feels close to acting so strange? Why does her blood rage for release with a fire that can never be quelled? Is she changing? Are they all changing?

What if I told you my life was a complete dumpster and it occupied me heavily for two months. Also, my life is a slightly curvier dumpster fire now because of estrogen and I am back to shit post and advocate for diverse voices in literature? Would we like it that or ask me to line edit this post?

I had the supreme pleasure of reading @pauljessup.com's novel, SUICIDEMUSIC, for our open reading period last year and immediately fell in love with his writing style, surrealist imagery and world-building. We can't wait to bring you this title in late June.

Notoriety does not lend authenticity to transgressions. One follower or one hundred thousand the laws of morality dictate egalitarian treatment of concerns from those in power.

This story poured out of me all in one go. I literally jumped off the elliptical to write it down. In 904 words, a whole life and world spilled out of me. It's a story told on a crumpled up note, hidden in a geode, hidden in your wall, by the father you never met, about how he knew you'd find this.
