Mallory Whitten's poems &amp; stories take such unique note of the strange &amp; depressing aspects of contemporary American life that they often feel like dreams. At the same time affectless &amp; deeply emotive, these poems &amp; stories take account, with something like a stenographer's prowess, of the anthropologically immense complexity &amp; absurdity of everything happening all at once: prescription drugs, great-grandparents, the judicial system, upper middle class candy stores, elementary school janitors, gentrification, iguanas, binge drinking, anxiety attacks, vague social structures, ad nauseam.

Poetry. Fiction. GOD BOX is a sacred container replete with self &amp; other, brimming with dazzling &amp; touching clarity, language, emotion, confidence, &amp; self-love. In these poems &amp; stories—pleasantly varied in style, form, subject, &amp; place—Mallory Whiten lucidly transmutes the complex magic, joy &amp; trials of a healing process from trauma, from within the quotidian performance &amp; experience of being &amp; existing as a woman. GOD BOX, Whitten's second book, is bright with offerings, dreams, blessings, boundaries, affirmations, prayers, synchronicities, &amp; her signature, meticulous &amp; necessary noticing—all of which constellate in a radiating affirmation of life that returns a self to its provenance: the holy box that holds the entire universe and—most importantly &amp; miraculously—ourselves.
