Moth and Ghost at Work Book Launch
Join us in celebrating Stephen Rendon's new hybrid chapbook!
Happy release day to our first hybrid chapbook, Moth and Ghost at Work by Stephen Rendon!
"Stephen Rendon’s Moth and Ghost at Work is an innovative experiment that engages a tactile sense of self, of class, and family. This chapbook offers critiques of labor and land through tender glimpses of Texas and through Rendon’s engaging lines, from lilies to pears to irises to carnations, he reminds us that religion and politics change death. His lean words strike without warning: 'Now we had to use our time explaining that we weren’t special to people who already treated us that way. Explaining that we weren’t more vile or human than anyone else. That you’re meat. And later that night you’ll be eaten.' This collection serves many delicious morsels on the menu and presents us with a world that capitalism has attempted to break, but a cast of characters that refuse that fate."
