535 followers · 518 posts · Server zirk.ushello friends, exciting news that I don’t think I’ve mentioned on here yet! My #debutnovel, FAILURE TO COMPLY, is going to be published in spring 2024 with featherproof books.
Does anyone (#litodon #literarymastodon) know of venues that would take unpublished excerpts of a #hybridgenre #speculativefiction novel? I think with #madness , #disabilityjustice , #abolition , and #antipsychiatry + use #poetics heavily. Tia!!

531 followers · 503 posts · Server zirk.usIs anyone else kinda on here, kinda off? I find myself anxious about (re)turning to Mastodon these days, then going on twitter and finding myself feeling empty. I want to have a home someplace as my author/editor-self, but I guess I need to be more intentional about finding my footing/community around here. Anyone else feeling this way?

502 followers · 493 posts · Server zirk.us#bookishadvent day 22, #smallpress edition is Heavenly Breakfast by the incomparable Samuel r Delany. This book-length essay frankly, humorously discusses queer communal living in 1967-68, and approaches its subject matter with a radically anticarceral, #antipsychiatry, and youth-liberation perspective.

I picked it up on a whim while in high school, and it transformed my relationship with gender(lessness) early in my journey as a trans person. It still means the world to me.

Today's book is Salt Fish Girl by Larissa Lai, a #queercrip #canlit novel that fuses myth, poetics, & radical speculation + queer dreaming to imagine alternatives to eugenic racial capitalism. I love this book more than I can say. Read it.

#bookishadvent day 18, #smallpress edition is “Seventeen Names for Skin” by Roland Blackburn! This short horror novel darkly satirizes the stereotypical illness narrative with a strong dose of body horror to match!

I am so fucking grateful to share my words with the world and sometimes get even better ones back.

Stintzi expertly weaves multiple narratives to construct the memory palace at the fulcrum of the novel, asking what it means to live, grieve, haunt, and be haunted by a past that won't go away.
I had the honor of interviewing JES about the book back in 2020!

This insightful, magical maze of a book is unlike anything I've read before, and equally, is a stunning entry into a long tradition of books-as-cities-as stories-as languages. I can't recommend it enough.

Pickell is a complex and lyrical poet whose work examines the nexus of race, migration, and Madness, and this chap from #BlackLawrencePress is a truly amazing debut.
