Damn Sure Right
A collection of eighty-eight flash fiction stories some of which have been previously published in literary journals and e-zines.
Spinning to Mars
Meg Pokrass has written an exquisite collection of linked stories. As I read Spinning to Mars I felt plunged, soaked, immersed-however you want to get down into a life both deep and wide. This book will spin you off to Mars with its exacting language and biting insight. Here is the kind of compressed writing that I long for and rarely find. Meg Pokrass is the author of seven flash fiction collections, including "Damn Sure Right" (Press 53, 2011), "The Dog Looks Happy Upside Down" (Etruscan Press, 2016), "The Dog Seated Next to Me", (Pelekinesis, 2019), "Cellulose Pajamas" (Blue Light Book Award, 2016), the chapbooks "An Object At Rest" (Ravenna Press, 2020) and "Alice in Wonderland Syndro...

First Law of Holes
"The people in these stories need Meg Pokrass. Their lives are tough but her imagination is the fire-lasso that can save them, save us." -Bob Hicok, author of Elegy Owed and Sex & Love A sixteen-year-old transplanted Pennsylvanian navigates sunburn and heartbreak in equal measure while falling in love with a very tan ghost. A girl with drunk scribbles on her shoes searches for fragments of an old flame inside the boy at the mall food court. And a female circus contortionist, daughter of a failed clown, comes to terms with the first law of romantic relationships: Once in a hole, stop digging. In First Law of Holes, award-winning author Meg Pokrass delivers a stunning selection of stories from the past fourteen years of her flash fiction career, tackling themes of belonging, obsession, messy love and loneliness with her trademark, unconventional storytelling.
The Loss Detector
Set in coastal California, The Loss Detector is a funny/sad portrait of teenage blues and of a small, transplanted family of non-conformists. The flawed but lovable characters in Pokrass' novella remind us of how the world's most beautiful places are not always the easiest in which to thrive. Moments of giddy, perceived freedom set against resignation dot the narrative in such a way that will leave you changed.
Kissing the Monster Hunter
Kissing the Monster Hunter is a book about monster hunters, unseen monsters, perpetual dreamers, and the creatures (human and otherwise) who love them. The unmissable prose poems and micros in this collection thrust us into an alternate reality where hope, love, and intimacy, when gone unrecognized, become a mystical force to be reckoned with.
