What a beautiful and emotional short story! I definitely recommend it!

This will be a gown that weds the wearer more closely to the music. Indeed, as the wearer dances, she becomes the music.

This was such a cool idea! A gown that makes music. LOVE IT.

I really enjoyed this long novelette, which uses the "decomissioning" of a campus god to about how our institutions define and alter their own histories, and who gets to decide what is worth remembering.

Covered in a bit more depth alongside another Annorlunda Press title here

A wonderful book dealing with family and culture and the ways we cling to both. Emlee Baptiste begins the epistolary story when she sends a message in a bottle out from her liminal village, and is eventually brough by a crow to a woman trapped in a hanging temple over a live volcano for her crimes as an insurgent.

Told through diary entries, letters, emails and articles, the story and the connections between the people of a floating strand village weathering their storms (real and personal) and political prisoner Kayamanira Matarayi's fight to bring back her repressed cultural traditions are interwoven, the threads tightening and tightening until Em and Kaya meet in an attempt by Kaya's government to destroy her.

It's a delicate book, drawing the surreal world of myths and faith into the weft of the real world of family-break ups, government oppression and the struggle for freedom with a careful hand.

Definitely worth reading.
