Throughout the past few years, I've been in survival mode, unable to do anything beyond coping as my life fell apart and I was thrown adrift. I let the creative spark in me die. Out of necessity, I consoled myself, but now I wonder if it wasn't fear of grappling with excess complex emotion.

The original runs had killer covers too but DAYUM these are incredible
Just a reminder: The tenth anniversary editions of the original Southern Reach trilogy are still out in the wild, selling well. NYT bestsellers and on a lot of best-of-decade or this century lists. With new intros by Karen Joy Fowler, NK Jemisin, and Helen MacDonald. Buy from you favorite indie.

Fiction has been slow, but the poetry is an ever-flowing fount. Might event start subbing to poetry mags again.
