Fanny Howe is the author of more than twenty books of poetry and prose. She has taught literature and writing for many years and is currently Professor Emerita in Literature at the University of California, San Diego. She has mentored a generation of American poets, activists and scholars working at the intersection of experimental and metaphysical forms of thinking. Eugene Lim is the author of four novels, most recently, of Dear Cyborg and the founder of Ellipsis Press.
In an age when many American artists and writers seem focused on projecting an aura of glib certitude, Fanny embraces radical indeterminacy. Reading her fiction feels something like facing a patch of wilderness--startling, beautiful, yet terrifyingly mysterious. Themes such as race and class, poverty and theology, women and oppression, are not merely explored, they are exploded. --Kim Jensen, Bomb
