steak knife to your pillow

A Peculiar Feeling of Restlessness is a book compiled of four chapbooks by Claudia Smith, Elizabeth Ellen, Kathy Fish, and Amy Clark. You should buy it. Speaking of communities: what a great way to release short-short fiction. Four people in one "normal sized" book. I got my copy today, and despite riding around in a Jeep with the doors off and listening to banjo songs about breakfast, I've already read like 4/5. It's that good. There's something about good prose where your arrival in each new sentence is such a cool tingle, shock, whoa--something clearly orchestrated by wit and heart.

Good job Claudia, Elizabeth, Kathy, and Amy. Rose Metal Press released this book. Good job Kathleen Rooney and Abigail Beckel.
