Fiction. Family, marriage, violent sexuality and social dysfunction, these short stories are filled with lives of limit and the small corruptions of the soul. John Kinsella's and Tracy Ryan's narratives are savage renditions of self-discovery and closely observed investigations into excess, transgression and the powerful conspiracies of the unendurable. John Kinsella is also the author of Peripheral Light: Selected and New Poems and the co-author of DOPPLER EFFECT with Marjorie Perloff. Tracy Ryan has published four collections of poetry including SLANT and Hothouse, as well as two novels.
