THE HEART IS ALSO A FURNACE

The strange, elusive, and haunting stories in Magdalen Powers's long-awaited second collection are like stars -- small, sparkling, and, upon closer inspection, containing worlds full of shadows and surprises. The Heart is Also a Furnace contains 26 stories about bizarre dreams, serene desires, and moments of cracked innocence in language that is carefully concise, slyly humorous, and always artful. Zine-style, saddle-stitched.
