J’Lyn Chapman, Our Last Days

"I want to help you understand what it is to kill something you have watched, but more so, what it is to kill something you have found beautiful." Excerpts from J'Lyn Chapman’s cross-genre manuscript, Our Last Days, a finalist for the 2015 TS Book Prize.

Alexis Orgera, You Don’t Mind: A Memorabilia

"Over a period of months a few years into his disease, my demented father penciled hundreds of thumbprint-sized, broken circles into the pages of a legal pad. An act of obsession or devil’s possession in the starburst of decline ..." Excerpts from Alexis Orgera’s cross-genre manuscript, You Don't Mind: A Memorabilia, a finalist for the 2015 TS Book Prize.

Alexandra Dillard, How We Tend To Fragile Things

"Death followed her so I did too. He cut her hair and I wore her clothes. When Death lit her cigarettes I mixed her drinks." Excerpts from Alexandra Dillard’s poetry manuscript, How We Tend To Fragile Things, a finalist for the 2015 TS Book Prize.

Colin Post, lynx perpetual lynx

"This map of iterations is no more a marked surfys, but rather the luscent screan hung before each port. The arrivals are no more marked in ink, but rather arrayed in leight." Excerpts from Colin Post’s hybrid-genre manuscript, lynx perpetual lynx, a finalist for the 2015 TS Book Prize.
