In The Gutter Spread Guide to Prayer, Eric Tran contends with the aftermath of a close friend's suicide while he simultaneously explores the complexities of being a gay man of color. Grief opens into unraveling circles of inquiry as Tran reflects on the loss of his friend and of their shared identity as gay Asian American men.

Life is full of moments. Once these moments have been lived, they become stories, and stories are their own art. With over 33 years of professional experience as a performer, choreographer, director, and arts producer, Daniel Kubert has a lot of life to share.
Taking the concept of an autobiography to the next level, Myth combines Kubert’s performance pieces and poetry with his personal story, molding them into an enigmatic yet poignant reflection of the artist himself.
Inspired by notable literary figures such as Joseph Campbell, Gertrude Stein, and Samuel Beckett, this book explores what it means to truly live a story.
What is a lyric essay? An essay that has a lyrical style? An essay that plays with form in a way that resembles poetry more than prose? Both of these? Or something else entirely? The works in this anthology show lyric essays rely more on intuition than exposition, use image more than narration, and question more than answer. But despite all this looseness, the lyric essay still has responsibilities—to try to reveal something, to play with ideas, or to show a shift in thinking, however subtle. The whole of a lyric essay adds up to more than the sum of its parts. In A Harp in the Stars, Randon Billings Noble has collected lyric essays written in four different forms—flash, segmented, braided, and hermit crab—from a range of diverse writers. The collection also includes a section of craft essays—lyric essays about lyric essays. And because lyric essays can be so difficult to pin down, each contributor has supplemented their work with a short meditation on this boundary-breaking form.
