-Wytovich Interviews Kearns-
To celebrate the release of Shannon Kearns' debut poetry collection editor Stephanie Wytovich interview her about her journey to publication.
"My writing process is shaped by my love of the intuitive arts. I worked as an energy practitioner and intuitive for ten years and stepped back from that work to focus on my love for writing. However, the work never left me. Instead, it grew into another form and took shape as words. My process is inspired from dream work. Many of the images are taken directly from dreams I’ve had."
-Preorder Usurper-
In the sequel to the critically acclaimed Outré, a novel that explores the future of cinema through the unlikely vehicle of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, D. Harlan Wilson turns to James Joyce’s Ulysses as a source of inspiration, entertainment, and social commentary. Outré tells the story of an aging movie star battling the tyranny of filmmaker Donovan Ogg and an antagonistic, seemingly omnipotent Studio. Set in an irreal dystopia, Usurper focuses on Donovan’s prodigal son, Caliban Ogg, who cannot crawl out from under the shadow of his father’s massive legacy as he struggles to adapt the so-called “Doomsday Edition” of Ulysses for the big screen. But this tale is ultimately a point of departure for a broader study of our benighted culture. Preorder now and get a discount.
