Emeritus Professor Freda Briggs AO Child abuse in the context of parental separation and divorce is not a malicious allegation, nor a misunderstandin...
Loner Forensics
The third collection of poetry from Thea Brown, author of Think of the Danger In Loner Forensics, Thea Brown dreams up and dissects a city beset by unexplained disappearances, roving silences, and climate collapse. This sprawling collection comprises a series of interviews with denizens of the shifting city, each mediated through the lonely lens of the Detective, a character whose refractive investigation atomizes the scene. As much a study of complicity as a critique of capitalism’s distortive effects on human emotional response, Loner Forensics questions what happens when our innermost terrains become newly unfamiliar in an unraveling natural world. Dark, fractured, and canny, Brown’s shimmering third collection draws on parallel universes, 1980s video games, social media pop-speak, and ghost towns to immerse the reader in grief, utopia, disaster—and, ultimately, love.
Think of the Danger
Surprise me. That's what I want from poetry, and in her nuanced, beautifully cerebral debut, Thea Brown delivers a poetics rife with grammatical slippage and shifting rhetorics, a language whose revelatory linguistic possibilities awaken the page. -Alice Fulton To "think of the danger" does little to dissuade its arrival-especially when, as in Thea Brown's probing debut, thinking may be the danger itself. -Dan Beachy-Quick
TRUTH ABT THEA
Will, a recovering heroin addict-turned-counselor for whom truth is a championed element to recovery, has a dark secret -- shared with no one outside of his anonymous AA meetings. Over twenty years ago, after an ultimatum from his pregnant ex-wife, Will was forced to assume a new identity and to fake his own death to get out from under his dealer and user-friends once and for all. Now Will is counseling Thea, a young woman who has been diagnosed with a pathological addiction to creating fake social media identities, and who founded a start-up company ("Alibis") that created false internet identities for clients, many with suspect pasts. Thea's addiction has landed her in rehab as a condition of her parole -- after a plea bargain cut short a court case that would have put both Thea and Alibis on trial for a very high-profile crime. As Will works with Thea, the truth is put into motion on a collision course. Both Will's, and his young client's, secrets start to unravel ... and reveal, at long last, the truth about Thea.

Famous Times
Poetry. FAMOUS TIMES investigates the shapes escapism takes as a response to the malignantly mundane: the boredom of the American workforce, puttering forward and waiting for the bottom to fall out. Ilya Kaminsky writes, "in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, / our great country of money, we (forgive us) // lived happily during the war," but what comprises that happiness? It's not just the money, which is mercurial at best and consolidated elsewhere. Spectatorship? Likes and retweets? Love? TV? There's a kind of disembodiment that happens via escapism, too. We can build a brain space more soothing to our anxieties, but we ourselves become spectral in the process. Sometimes that's a relief. To some extent, those of us fortunate enough to be getting by do so through dreams, falling into and out of moments that reveal something wondrous--despite it all, there's still time--wonder still happens, and we need it to. Resistance without play can feel hollow.
The She-Wood
Thea Windsong, self-styled shaman, comes to affluent Wellesford, Connecticut, to buy a home, a middle-aged woman with long, black hair, a pickup truck, and no apparent connections to the town. The property that wins her heart is a rundown little house by the railroad tracks off Thornwood Road, across the pond from a Civil War cemetery, and saddled with the rumor that it is haunted by the spirit of an ancient witch. “This is a she-wood!” Thea says, sensing a “divine feminine energy” in the near-wilderness surrounding the old cottage and barn. When Thea vanishes shortly after becoming the property’s new owner, the only one who seems to care is Lydie Pretlove, the real estate agent who tried to talk her out of buying it. As the conventional Lydie probes into Thea’s bewildering world, she feels herself falling under the she-wood’s spell, until her newfound “feminine energy” recaptures the body and soul of her ex-husband John, still married to his beautiful, neurotic second wife, Isabel.But it will take a chain of horrific events before Lydie discovers the she-wood’s secret, and a struggle with her conscience over whether to reveal it.
