Here Comes The New Joy

“Here Comes The New Joy unlocks a box of stories of what it means to know a life and all of its personal contradictions and curiosities. At times it is a conspicuous account of Past’s shadowed memories, and at other times it is a thick-woven description of Life’s constants. In this welcome poetic page-turner, Barrios skips the flowers, and goes straight for the mud, splatter, and all.”

~ Carrie Seitzinger, author of Fall Ill Medicine

Expecting Something Else

"FINALLY a book that recognizes the fundamental fact of form reflected in William de Kooning's statement: 'Content is a glimpse of something.' A.M. O'Malley's Expecting Something Else made me giddy again inside the pleasure of her text. By carefully destroying and restorying prior texts, she brilliantly opens up possibilities of meaning-making that made me swoon. I live for books like this but they rarely come. A triumph." 

~ Lidia Yuknavitch
