Ghost/Home
Literary Nonfiction. GHOST/HOME: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO BEING HAUNTED traces the course of a disease through a body, a ghost through a home, and a feeling through the language that tries to hold it. How does illness travel through us? What do we do with the parts of ourselves we feel but cannot grasp? Where are the ghosts in our lives, and what are their names? In diagrams of ghosts, readings of Clarice Lispector, photographs, interviews, and lyric prose, GHOST/HOME extends these questions into uncharted territory. The chapbook seeks to do the impossible: to diagram the elusive, the invisible, the haunting. Like its cover--an early Anna Atkins cyanotype, which transforms an image of algae int...

How to Submit
A comprehensive guide to collaboratively building a community and literary reputation through small presses and magazines -- and opting out of the "Big Five" publishing lottery Most beginning writers dream of huge book deals with big-name publishers, multicity book tours, and breathless write-ups praising their brilliant, bestselling debut. Eager to sustain this dream, most publishing guides focus on querying, finding an agent, and publishing a book with one of the "Big Five" mainstream, corporate publishing houses. The result for new writers is often frustration, disillusionment with the process, and, ultimately, a sense of creative failure. This first-of-its-kind guide suggests a different...

Poetry. The death of a parent by vehicular homicide, the difficulty of meeting the needs of children with severe autism, the dissolution of identity and relationships in an era of unending genocide and terror by war these three poetic sequences piece together an intimate mourning, circuitous and sewn, a symptom of grief and the recursive process of grieving. Each poem of this assured debut, encoded by fragmentary attentions that surface before the mind shuts out all signals of time passing without the missing, is a crystalline approximation of coping with loss. Through an exacting poetics of impression and submerge, sped sutures broken thoughts, snippets of conversation, incidents both witne...
A Handbook for the Perfect Adventurer
Pierre Mac Orlan's 1920 Handbook for the Perfect Adventurer was at once a paean to the adventure story, a tongue-in-cheek guidebook to the genre's real-life practitioners and a grim if unspoken coda to the disasters of World War I. "It must be established as a law that adventure in itself does not exist," Mac Orlan stipulates. "Adventure is in the mind of the one who pursues it, and no sooner is he able to touch it with his finger than it vanishes, to reappear much farther off in another form, at the limits of the imagination." This handbook outlines two classes of adventurer: the active adventurer (sailors, soldiers, criminals) and the passive adventurer (sedentary parasites who draw susten...
