More like peering around life's corner with a pocket mirror in order to get a sense of the colors, the shape, the speed of the thing that is hurrying inexorably toward me. -- Lieke Marsman, 1990-2026. #SundaySentence, On Another Planet They Can Save Me. (Soon from @catapultbooks.bsky.social)

“RED ANTS does not disappoint… The collection brims with athletic language—and I don’t mean acrobatic, because Blaeser’s sentences aren’t just for show. They pull us into the worlds and psyches they depict.” — @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social
