Eric Beeny blurs the line between prose and poetry in this collection of 15 short stories. His seemingly-simple tales of the way we cope with love and loss are woven into a rhythmic cloth. Rich in detail, even the Twitter-sized stories leave an afterimage. Five of the 15 stories make their exclusive debut amidst the pages of this chapbook.
