Reviews
Flare Stacks in Full Bloom, by Katherine Hoerth, reviewed by Jan Seale in Concho River Review.
“…a collection of poems fully realized both artistically and practically…”
Jan Seale, Concho River Review
Don’t Make Me Do Something We’ll Both Regret, by Tim Jones-Yelvington, reviewed by Elizabeth Smith in Necessary Fiction.
This collection of dizzying and dazzling dystopian fairytales propels the reader through a sexually intriguing, violent, shy, erudite, and disingenuous mind—think Glee Club and High School Musical meet American Psycho.
Elizabeth Smith, Necessary Fiction
