Every Kiss a War, from Leesa Cross-Smith
I just bought Leesa Cross-Smith‘s debut story collection, Every Kiss a War, out from Mojave River Press.

New review of Box Cutters
I just learned that Spencer Dew has written a new review of Box Cutters; it appears in the March issue of decomP magazine. Dew’s comments are humbling: This opening story shows Snoek-Brown at the height of power, mastering the sort of casual, interior ramble that puts us, as readers, inside the skull and soul ofContinue reading “New review of Box Cutters“
