| Get the shared properties of water and stars |
Sometimes the stigma is that small and pretty =
intellectually lightweight. But Kristy Bowen has written a small and pretty book
of prose poems that is, in actuality, going to completely rock your safe little
genre-loving world.
Bowen found the perfect home for the shared properties of water and stars at Noctuary Press:
“seeks to create a
public space for women writers
… [who are not] simply
challeng[ing] the notion of genre, but
… assessing both the
artistic possibilities and the dangers inherent in maintaining genre
categories.”
The girl with the blonde hair lives next door to the man who keeps
rabbits. (p. 9)
Talk about genre-busting. This book is prose poem, short
fiction in verse, fairy tale, myth, dystopian fiction, fable, folk tale –
Every shoebox marked open me? (p. 10)
