Wine For A Shotgun by Marty McConnell is the most beautiful collection of poetry I’ve ever read. Now, a caveat: I say this as a reader of fiction who is generally interested in — but hasn’t read read an awful lot of — poetry. Like Danika, I often don’t feel feel qualified to write aboutRead More
Katie Raynes reviews Ash by Malinda Lo
I’d encountered numerous mentions of Malinda Lo’s Ash, a retelling of Cinderella, long before I bought a copy. It’s always on lists of fantasy fiction with lesbian protagonists and from what I’ve seen, it enjoys a lot of popularity and good reviews. I bought it hoping to find a professional, lush retelling of a fairyRead More
Danika reviews The Disciple of Las Vegas: An Ava Lee Novel by Ian Hamilton
I was recommended this book (and subsequently offered it by the publisher) while putting together a list of Asian lesbian books. Ava Lee is a Chinese-Canadian lesbian forensic accountant (she tracks down millions of dollars) and a certified bad-ass. I actually just realized when looking this book up to link it that this is theRead More

Danika reviews Prairie Silence by Melanie Hoffert
I have a strong draw towards rural queer stories. I’m not sure why, because I grew up in a mid-sized liberal/hippie city, but I find myself seeking out and basking in stories by Ivan Coyote, Rae Spoon, emily m. danforth and now Melanie Hoffert. I think it’s because the traditional narrative of queer lives isRead More

Lena reviews Broken Star by Joann Lee
It’s been said that there are only seven basic stories and everything we write falls somewhere within their confines. I’m generally a bit more optimistic about our creative prowess, but sometimes there are stories so formulaic that I think even seven basic plots is generous and perhaps it’s more like four. Broken Star, by JoannRead More
Danika reviews Riot Lung by Leah Horlick
As I have mentioned before, I get a little overwhelmed trying to review poetry. It seems so individual, and what expertise do I have? Of course, that’s equally true of fiction, and I don’t seem to mind reviewing that, so I’ll give it a shot! Riot Lung is very scenic, firmly rooted in Horlick’s prairie home.Read More
Casey reviews Among Other Things, I’ve Taken up Smoking by Aoibheann Sweeney
I expected to love Aoibheann Sweeney’s debut novel Among Other Things, I’ve Taken up Smoking (2007). This, unfortunately, was not meant to be. This is not to say that Among Other Things doesn’t have its good points. It’s a novel whose queerness gradually sneaks up on you: a novel of subtlety above all else, andRead More
