“There are so many examples of…lyricism at play in the collection but the language in “Rodney and Chelsea” stood out to me the most. In this story, the two titular characters, teen neighbors, are about to engage in their first sexual experience together. It’s a moment of great anticipation and anxiety, yet the narrative sweeps around them meticulously, not only registering their expressions and subtle movements, but their life histories, the space they share living next door to each other, and essential connections they share with family, friends, and neighbors. The entire moment is exquisitely rendered in just four pages, and it’s such a virtuoso accomplishment of prosody that I had to reread it twice more just before I could move on.” ~ Peter Fontaine, from his review of Together We Can Bury It at NANOfiction.

Reblogged this on Isabell Serafin and commented:
Love this cover – and very excited to read the latest work of Kathy Fish.
Thanks for the reblog, Isabell, and the kind words. The cover artist is Jana Vukovic. I love her work, too! She created the covers for the other Lit Pub titles as well.
