It is acute and sophisticated in its technique, and amazingly compact, which adds to its form.” I forget how I came across this book. My partner actually started reading it first. She's into the modernists and she said it reminded her of Willa Cather. I picked it up when she finished it and it made me think of Faulkner. We were both wrong. This book exists in its own realm. The language is a little difficult at first, but once you get into it, you realize you're thick in the middle of this beautiful, harsh Indiana landscape. - Patty Yumi Cottrell Klempt, Lever Puller (excerpt absurd) 2011 Finally (miniature absurd) 2010 Three poems;(2010): No More Fantasizing of the Dead Hamza Intestacy In Three Big Deck Gun (Miniature) 2009 Dear Wigleaf (letter) 2009 Pensée #12 (miniature) 2009 As You Are (short story/chapter) 2009 By Clutching the Little Decedent (miniature collage) 2009 Remonstrance Back (miniature/broken poem) 2009 Afternoon After(miniature) 2008 Pensée # 8 (miniature/excerpt) 2008 Evening Collapsed Purple (short story) 2008 You'll Die (miniature/excerpt) 2008 I Wish He Were You (short story/chapter) 2008 One, Two (miniature) 2008 Elimae The Mess You Made In Us (miniature) 2008 Smokelong Quarterly All Turn Away (miniature/excerpt) 2008 Jonas, Providence (miniature/excerpt) 2008 Language, Richard (miniature/excerpt) 2008 No Colony Timothy's Mother (short story) 2007 Storyglossia Tape Hiss (short story) 2007 Storyglossia Klein's Latrell (short story) 2007 Lamination Colony How It's Silent When You're Gone (short story finalist) 2007 CutThroat Journal Brother-in-law (Glimmer Train finalist) 2007 Various student newspaper articles and fictional pieces and "Madigan's Melancholia" , Earlham Word 2002-2005 NOVELS / NOVELLA / NOVELETTE Resolving (midwest gothic) 2018- Please Tap At My Prison Door (speculative), 2018- Wind Shifted Embers (midwest gothic), 2018* Traveling Without, (midwest gothic/crime) 2017 * It Looks Like A Garden, (Fairytale Gothic) 2016 * Bees From Mouth To Field, (midwest gothic/crime) 2014-16 * Vulnerable You, 2014-15 (speculative) * Robert Carr Oldershaw, 2013-14 * (midwest gothic) A Strange Kind Of Trying, 2013 * A Time To Come To A Place And Introduce Oneself, 2012 * Cut Up, 2007-11 (midwest gothic) The Mess You Made In Us, 2008-10 * (Ireland gothic) The Staircase, 2006 * A Chapel Pond, 2005 * The Battlefield, 1995 (lost) (battlefield gothic)* The Ghost of Blue House (lost) (battlefield gothic) * |
