Abjectification: Stories & Truths
Abjectification mines our most intimate moments to flesh out the horrors of human interaction. In the isolated system of these stories, the past is animate and tangible, located in the body, fantasy & nightmare intertwined. Like matter, what we've loved isn't destroyed, it merely changes forms. A man thinks he's found a haven from the past with a new love in "Freak Show"; Meghan seems sensitive to exposure, but she isn't the woman Jeff imagines he's been sleeping with at all. A small family begins remodeling their home in "Shedding," but their six-year-old daughter Emmy discovers unsettling things in the walls. In "Hand-Me-Down," Carly Jo welcomes her high school boyfriend back into her life after he moves home to care for his dying mother; she's haunted by the mother's presence in their lives and in their bed. Old friends reconnect, disregarding "Boundaries," only to discover a force is whittling the group down, their new spouses and partners in lethal danger. Kubasta's collection is creepy, haunting, and unapologetically sexy.

All Beautiful and Useless
Poetry. "C. Kubasta's ALL BEAUTIFUL & USELESS is a fearless book. With an amazing range of forms including sonnets, erasures and a screenplay these poems ask us to investigate "the sudden violence/done to childhood when you trust too much." Poems about the Salem Witch Trials, Thumbelina, Cinderella, the victims of serial killer Ed Gein, as well as poems from the poet's own experience explore the devastating violence that is so often inflicted on female bodies. These poems demand our attention. A remarkable debut collection." Nicole Cooley "From a fresh consideration of the Salem witch trials, C. Kubasta's ALL BEAUTIFUL & USELESS launches into autobiography rendered in a masterful array of fo...
&s
C. Kubasta's &s is a collection of poetry that explores family, relationships and the meanings we make & take from these interactions, created through eavesdropping, misappropriation and found text.

Girling
"'You never told me about that, ' Mom said, 'but I think a lot of things happened at Mollie's I didn't know about...' and she smiled. Kate thought about the skinny-dipping, but also finding Uncle RJ's magazines, and kissing Mollie's brother--the one who got married tonight." Girls at home, with their sometimes cruel and sometimes protective families, girls in other girls' homes, seeing everything. Girls watching boys, girls in the woods, girls in fairy tales, and girls handled roughly, like disposable kittens in a sack for drowning. C. Kubasta imagines all the girls through the lens of two friends hurtling toward womanhood, as they crash into and orbit around men and each other--trying to sn...
