In How to See the World, Lambert takes us deftly along as she examines the new reality in which we've all awakened in 2020. She peels back its complicated layers with adept use of metaphor, as well as a revelatory tone that will have readers doubling back to unfold new meanings in a line, a verse, or a poem. Real moments of brilliance sparkle calling us to look beyond surface and pattern to recognize something beyond ourselves, even while we languish in a groundswell of change. Tell me moonlight can't speak...she writes, then convinces us that it can. While pandemic is here and unavoidable, do not approach this collection as an outgassing of that reality. It is about much more--how interconnected we all are while teetering at the brink of change and that we must witness the miracle, not turn away. --Rose M. Smith, author of Unearthing Ida

Larry Thacker's new collection of 22 short stories, Labor Days, Labor Nights, with recurring characters has its share of quirky and amusing figures. The language is colloquial and relaxed for easy reading. The characters are working-class people dealing with the sometimes zany business of their lives. It is a story collection hard to put down. Some stories remind of a latter-day Eudora Welty, others have a hint of James Thurber. A fine collection to add to anyone's fiction library. --Ron Houchin, author of Talking to Shadows

Genre Fiction

I believe this is an important and powerful book. The opening moments are terrific...The book is by turns powerful, funny, poignant, harrowing, and heartfelt. We meet a narrator who is processing through movement, community, and, upon one of the biggest and most dramatic "ruptures" of his adult life; one that shifted not only his identity, but the identity of the community, and the country, as well. This is a fantastic premise for a book...one written in a propulsive, tightly controlled narrative. 
I am deeply moved by the connection JRW Case felt with one particular victim and his lacking a sense of belonging....For the storyteller, of course, the perspective is unique because he was in direct contact with the events and personally invested. But the book tells an American story--of war, expansion, guns, "freedom," and people building new lives from the ashes of old ones. We are ALL invited by the strength of the narrative to reckon with this. The aftermath of Columbine is the aftermath for ALL of us. -Emily Rapp Black, author of Poster Child: A Memoir
