A fantastic blurb from Kayla E (Precious Rubbish) for the final book in our @sfwa.org grant series: "There's a Party in the Free Zone" is a little miracle of a book. Ink-smudged one-panel poems and pocket fables that land like a voicemail from your subconscious: funny, tender, and a little haunted.

A few samples of the style. Art and words are done in one take, no edits or revisions, straight from the subconscious mind. We call the style "nDADA" as an homage to the DADA and Surrealist artists and poets who inspired it.
