Writers Read: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

May 1, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Lyndsay Hall

The much talked about Between The World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates is about murder—the murder of black people by white people in a country that has thrived, since its inception, on the abuse of black bodies. This thriving is economic, but it is also cultural and, therefore, part of our identity as Americans. Over […]

Spotlight: Lift / After the Rain / Caveat Emptor

April 24, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Marcena Hooks

Lift Up here even a slim wind sets the outstretched jib singing, but that doesn’t bother me any more than the crane’s height or cab’s close quarters. The way my son tells it, you’d think I lift a hundred tons on my back every day and build those buildings with my bare hands. I say […]

Writers Read: The Art of Recklessness by Dean Young

April 17, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Lyndsay Hall

I was hoping that at some point I would figure out what this book is about—maybe you are too. – from The Art of Recklessness: Poetry as Assertive Force and Contradiction by Dean Young (p. 153) It’s difficult to digest all of The Art of Recklessness into an annotation, probably by design.  Writer Dean Young often loses the reader with lines […]

Spotlight: ‘Do I know you?’- A Xerography Series

April 10, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Katy Avila

In one year, my father died in a crash due to complications of diabetes; I had two surgeries reserved for women 20 years my senior; and I became the guardian for my 92-year-old Grandmother Emma, in the end stages of dementia. My mother, and each of her eight siblings, had diabetes and high blood pressure by age 50, bunions by 55, some form of cancer by 60. […]

Writers Read: Excavation by Wendy C. Ortiz

April 3, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Lyndsay Hall

LA-based writer Wendy C. Ortiz writes about her loss of innocence in her debut memoir Excavation, which has received rave reviews since its 2014 release. Ortiz’s writing is rife with figurative language like simile, metaphor, personification, parallel structure, alliteration, and repetition, but it is also incredibly self-reflective. Whether it’s the temporal distance that gives her […]

Spotlight: The Last Cigarette

March 27, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Douglas Menagh

On September 26, 2009, at about a quarter past one in the morning, while outside, a cloudy night sky was closing in on Padua, he, lying on his king-sized futon next to his profoundly asleep wife, was shaken by a violent cough. Eyes staring into the dark bedroom, he was overcome by the age-old fear […]

Writers Read: The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca Solnit

March 6, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Lyndsay Hall

Rebecca Solnit gets the title for her work The Faraway Nearby from Georgia O’Keefe. “From the faraway nearby” was how O’Keefe would sign letters to the people she loved after moving from New York City to rural New Mexico. Says Solnit, “It was a way to measure physical and psychic geography together” (108). It is […]

Spotlight: Maranda on Fire

February 29, 2016/in Amuse-Bouche, Amuse-Bouche 2016 / Josh Roark

I started firewalking after seeing a picture of a monk burn himself to death, but of course it’s more complicated than that. The monk came to history class where we were studying Vietnam, talking about what a mistake it had been, and about the protests against the war, in our country, and over there, where they […]

Designed to be murdered by your dog or cat, pet toys appear as dead bodies in these crime scene photographs.

Contemporary films and CSI-style television programs reveal an obsession with corpses—specifically, artfully composed images of the deceased […]
