“The writers gathered here do not change the subject or perpetrate equations that dilute what we secretly know and need to know about the living project, about navigating our common air and living into the wind. They are writers who share a rigorous attention to composition that is seemingly unshakable, and otherworldly.”
—Ben Marcus
