“…skillfully rendered with an analytical self-awareness that critiques each genre. Crane’s gritty and illuminating style of storytelling is both compelling and delightfully rebellious, allowing her to address the limitations of each genre while she writes beyond each one”

it's been a strange, overwhelming day, and tho the staticky feeling will pass, I think I will never get over the sweetness of my friends showing me pictures like this: my book in their hands

A GOOD ANIMAL by @saramaurerwrites.bsky.social is the most beautiful novel I’ve read in a while. The setting, the sheep, the characters all felt so real I couldn’t believe I’d never see them again when I finished the last sentence. A heart-squeeze of a story. #booksky

In this excerpt from my first book in Rolling Stone, I set up before + after. After school one day, en route to snacks and cartoons, I stumble on my dad, an imposing German-American with a graying widow’s peak, hunched over the kitchen table. He’s got a problem, and his solution takes me by surprise

"There is never / an ending to The End of the Affair, / to The Lover." A poem by 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗶 @georgia2newengland.bsky.social in the Fall 2025 issue bit.ly/AmsterdamReview #poetry #poetrycommunity
​We are neither friend, nor enemy
because those could be metaphor 
I might come to understand, something
made by diction, by definition or perhaps
by reference to a painting – 
But I am boiling water at temperatures
too high for this tea, this bite 
of York peppermint. Is your yearning
to regain control of my life why you 
text me again, conjuring
