ABOUT THE BOOKS AND AUTHORS
That Audible Slippage by Margaret Christakos invokes a poetics of active listening and environmental sound to investigate the ways in which we both hear and fail to hear insufficiency, loss, incompleteness, and other affects.
Deviant by Patrick Grace traces a trajectory of queer self-discovery from childhood to adulthood, examining love, fear, grief, and the violence that men are capable of in intimate same-sex relationships.
Fresh, funny, and imbued with infectious energy, Northerny by Dawn Macdonald tells a much-needed and compelling story of growing up and living in the North.
