Poetry. Prose. Cross-Genre. Edited by Mary Burger, this anthology brings together nine chapbooks from Second Story Books in an exploration of narrative-the representation of events in language, the tension between disbelief and its suspension. Multiple engagement-the simultaneity of representational and experiential time-creates the complex possibilities of narrativity. With selections from Renee Gladman, Brenda Coultas, Lauren Gudath, Jacques Debrot, Avery Burns, Kristin Prevallet, Gregory Brooker, Camille Roy, and Mary Burger, this anthology questions and examines how we understand the operations and assumptions of narrative as a fundamental aspect of how we define reality, how we decide what is relevant or significant, and how we decide what anything means.
