There are Boxes and There is Wanting
Poetry. Hybrid Genre. Where storms are stories that 'cannot be pulled apart from one another, ' and stories storms swirling up around 'precarious' bodies ('if the body doesn't end at the skin') --this book: hybrid of play nonfiction and poetry. Where 'at least we are dancing. at least we are not separate from one another'--this book: a description of, also a resistance to, the reduction of 'the body' to 'the patient.' This book: urgent attention given to the restoration of visibility in the theatrically lit stage space of a deep concern about surveillance. Intimate and performative, finding doorway after doorway, the embodied, hyper-vigilant, proposals of there are boxes and there is wanting reveal a lyric speaker who goes from particle to wave, subject to object, interior to exterior and back with extraordinary speed and fluidity, with an astonishing control and an equally impressive wildness. 'when it is our turn to speak a kind of breaking happens.' This book: 'any investigation of skin must start here.'--Laura Mullen
A Series of Un/natural/disasters
A Series of Un/Natural/Disasters is attentive to the sorts of mutual aid and possibility that appear in moments of state failure. As such it maps long and complicated equations, moving from Katrina to the prisoners at Riker's Island as they await Sandy. It understands disaster as a collective system, the state as precarious, and community as necessary.

From Our Hearts to Yours
Literary Nonfiction. LGBTQIA Studies. California Interest. Literary Criticism. FROM OUR HEARTS TO YOURS: NEW NARRATIVE AS CONTEMPORARY PRACTICE offers the first comprehensive anthology of essays regarding New Narrative writing and community practices by a younger generation of practitioners and scholars. As editors Rob Halpern and Robin Tremblay-McGaw write in their introduction, "We are not interested in offering an 'authoritative' canon of New Narrative work, nor are we interested in consolidating an official version of New Narrative's history. Rather, we want to use this as an opportunity to foreground New Narrative as a movement that is still coming into focus, a more or less unstable ob...
Terror Matrix
Poetry. California Interest. Women's Studies. LGBT Studies. Politics. Occult. With spells by Z. Ozma. "For all its gnostic scholarship, the writing of Zoe Tuck always sounds absolutely contemporary. In TERROR MATRIX, we witness drones tracking the smell of cooking onions, Amazon putting its books to death, the queer body dragged to a xenophobic Liam Neeson vehicle, and everywhere, everywhere, witches on the torture rack again. It couldn't be more 2014. Zoe's privileged form is the interruption, the break within the break, another glaring condition of the now. 'This bare life's made possible by constant rupture.' Not wonderful, not horrible, just possible. Zoe has a crystalline sense of rupture as hope, as eventful change, as the fractures in the boundaries of identity, but at the same time understands it as a most useful tool for state terror, as the violent partitioning of bodies, as the multi-media cloud cutting into and across itself in order to splinter resistance and distract from its own amorality. All who share a sense of rupture's ambiguity will treasure this 'safe poetic exercise in S&M.'" Brent Cunningham"
