FICTION AND POETRY from The Literary Review
cover

The key is to follow your skin. Listen to your skin. Let your skin feast. It will open and loosen and lose itself and lead you to the meat, then the bone, then the essence your eyes can't see your mind can't read.
     Listen to your skin. Let it breathe. Let it give you the births you need.
