Plan 99: Poetry and Prose  with Barbara Sibbald, Christine McNair and Michael Blouin

Stabbingly lyrical misconduct, ingenious myth-making: Blouin's wonderful novel is a sexy stagger-step toward a new way of thinking about, of carving up, truth and beauty that will tractor-beam you instantly onto a fast, wild mofo-ship.

Barbara Sibbald's The Museum of Possibilities presents fifteen shadow-box narratives-short, concentrated scenes depicting complicated relationships, strong emotions and hard consequences.  

Charm, the second collection by poet Christine McNair, considers the craftwork of conception from a variety of viewpoints—from pregnancy and motherhood, to how an orchid is pollinated, to overcoming abusive relationships, to the manual artistry of carving a violin bow or marbling endpapers.

Part murder mystery and part autobiography, Legend is genre-bending fiction from Michael Blouin. Legend intertwines the life stories of celebrities, serial killers, and B-movies with the author's own life, particularly the story of his relationship with his father.
