Read “The Hermit” in The Maine Review

Posted on

I’m thrilled to see my story, “The Hermit,” in print in issue 4.1 of The Maine Review.  Living in a decaying neighborhood,  a young woman thinks her only hope of salvaging her inheritance–and the life she hoped for–is to sell her mother’s rowhouse to the company planning to demolish her city block. But when a religious hermit moves into the abandoned house next store and begins dispensing wisdom through the boarded windows, she realizes her loyalties are more complicated than she thought. Ultimately she must decide what kind of neighbor she truly wants to be, and what it means to call a place home.

Copies are now available.

Who Will Speak for America?WHO WILL SPEAK FOR AMERICA?, a multigenre literary response to the current political crisis, is now available for preorder! You can order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite independent bookstore. The contributions—from established figures including Eileen Myles, Melissa Febos, Jericho Brown, and Madeleine Thien, as well as rising new voices, such as Carmen Maria Machado, Ganzeer, and Linda Finck—confront a country beset by racial injustice, poverty, misogyny, and violence. Lots more news to come in 2018.
