I am ridiculously pleased to announce my second collection of short stories, recently released from Future Tense Books. Here are some nice things that have been said about it so far.
"Magdalen Powers's crucial, compact prose miniatures provoke and disturb with a
seductive wit and a sly, nervy exactitude all her own. Her fleet-phrased wisdom is
something I am very grateful for."
"The short, short stories...are gauzy and dreamlike, yet utterly convincing that they are fiercely part of
our reality."
"Powers seems committed to the meticulous reconstruction of experience,
whether emotional or physical, and she has the chops to do so with concise,
evocative wordplay and a wry, subtle wit."
"...26 wonderful, mysterious little dreams, like blog-posts from the Land of
Wind and Ghosts." Order now, through Powells.com or Amazon, or direct from Future Tense. You can also pick up a copy in Portland, Ore., at Powell's on Burnside or Hawthorne, Reading Frenzy, Broadway Books, or Looking Glass Bookstore; at Quimby's in Chicago; and at Rare Device in scenic Park Slope, Brooklyn.
