It’s almost spring. The rain is petering out, and hopefully, for all you who live in such climates, the snow is, too. You should be outside right now, living, smelling things that smell good, like attractive people and freshly cut grass. But first, what you’re going to do is read things from the last week at Rumpus Books. Because these things are just that good.
Dean Young’s The Art of Recklessness: A Review?
The Heart Of Nothing Much That Matters — A review of Volt, Alan Heathcock’s new collection of stories.
Freak Flag Fly — A review of The Book of Freaks, a new collection of prose poems by Jamie Iredell.
A review of While The Women Are Sleeping, Javier Marías’ new collection of short fictions.
Behold My Clearance Discounts — A review of poetry by Nick Demske.
And also be sure not to miss Sari Botton’s eight installment of Conversations With Writers Braver Than Me, this time with Heather Havrilesky.
