Thank you Hobart Pulp for this insightful interview with Chelsea Clammer, author of Circadian. “Essays seem to encourage digression and tangents, and you do such a great job of managing that – letting these essays wander, but, by the end, justifying that wandering and all of the places you arrived in the process,” says interviewer Jac Jemc.

Ron Koertge is in the news again, this time in The Baltimore Sun, for his poem “Negative Space,” which inspired the Oscar-nominated animation. “Porter, 36, who has been collaborating with his wife since they married… said they stumbled upon the poem on social media in 2014, and ‘immediately connected with the subject matter, and thought it was a story a lot of people could relate to.'”
“
Big thank you to CBS Baltimore for not forgetting that "Negative Space," the Oscar-nominated animation, was inspired by Ron Koertge's prose poem of the same name. Thanks CBS Baltimore!

We're excited that Steve Almond's Bad Stories is the recipient of a starred review by Booklist. The full review will appear in the February 15th edition of Booklist, but here's a taste of what it contains: "With the same biting wit that marks Almonds previous books of social criticism, Against Football (2014), the accomplished fiction writer and journalist aims to decode the social conditions that landed Trump in the White House. . . . Almond holds up literature as a guide through Americas age-old moral dilemmas and finds hope for his country in family, forgiveness, and political resistance."
