@pressassembly.bsky.social"When the writer is working in the mode of creative nonfiction, where fidelity to truth is paramount, and tools of literary craft, as much as rhetorical training, are available, well, all the better. Strangeness and fact are each other’s familiars, after all." www.writersdigest.com/certain-smal...

@pressassembly.bsky.social“In stunning and incisive prose, Erin Wunker blends memoir and cultural criticism and philosophy to weave a profound portrait of what it means to notice.”—Elamin Abdelmahmoud
@pressassembly.bsky.social“This book meets the challenge of what it means to mother in dark times, proving as expansive as the act of assembling decades of hard-won wisdom in the direction of subtly vivid prose, and in service of vital and ethical hopes.”—Canisia Lubrin
@pressassembly.bsky.social“Wunker has thoughtfully created a space to explore some of the more difficult aspects of being a mother, of being a woman, of being alive, and we feel safe in her care. We are all lucky to have Wunker’s incredible voice, mind, and heart, and uncanny ability to make connections.”—Stacey May Fowles
@pressassembly.bsky.social“What a thoughtful inward and outward meditation on boredom and bother, but one that ultimately transforms into a meditation about time and mortality. These meditations invite the reader to travel along a thoughtful and intelligent mind.”—Victoria Chang
@pressassembly.bsky.social“With great sensory attunement and a meticulously observant mind, Erin Wunker has written a very un-boring collection, a gift for wild, anxious, inconsolable readers, and a study in how to meet one’s private and public hours with greater curiosity, communion, and wakeful intention.”—Kyo Maclear
@pressassembly.bsky.social📣 All the Waking Hours is here! 📣 Happy pub day to Erin Wunker and this artful and tender read about what it really takes to care for others. assemblypress.ca/shop/all-the...
