“True to publisher, Whisk(e)y Tit’s vision, J. Bradley’s Neil and Other Stories is a collection of considerable playfulness and beauty, of daring and intellectual rigor.

"PARLAY is a weirdly beautiful trip into the alt-universe of Whitey Whitlock (protaganist of "Postal Child") as he prepares his crew of pirate birds to set sail from Brooklyn -- sex, drugs, pipes, hickies, and a very unexpected sweetness offer a new kind of novel." – Tina Satter, Half Straddle

NEW: KNICKPOINT by M.B.F. Wedge

This breathtaking collage memoir in stark prose poetry takes place in a post-industrial upstate New York town. With gimlet-eyed clarity, the author gives equal weight to the momentous and the mundane, spanning the arrest of her former lover for pedophilia, her work as a rehabilitation counselor for the severely and persistently mentally ill, and the death of her mother and aunt.

Deft, precise, elegant, KNICKPOINT emerges uncategorizable, transcending what we know of poetry, essay, the novel. With this savage and graceful pastoral, Margaret Wedge has revealed herself to be a master cartographer of the liminal space.
A haunting, magnificent book. As savage and as intelligent as the day is long. — Cara Hoffman
