Auggie is starting his first year at Wroxall College. It’s a punishment, and he’s determined to make his way through the year, prove himself, and earn the right to go back home. Theo is a grad student recovering from a terrible car accident. He’s lost his husband and their daughter, and he’s trying to figure out how to keep going. When both are tangled up in a murder, though, they have to set their personal problems aside and work together — first to clear their names, and then, when the killer turns his attention on them, to survive.

The Laughing Mirror is a spell book disguised as a poetry collection, a wild and tender chronicle of a woman becoming her own soft bodied goddess as she moves through fascist shadows, sugar glitter resurrections, psychotic pilgrimages, and moon drenched confessions. The poems swing between divinity and delusion, rage and softness, prophecy and pop music, letting every cracked reflection shimmer with its own strange holiness.

Why I Was Late fuses text with performance, bringing a transmasculine wisdom, humor, and experience to bear upon tailgates, spaceships, and wrestling rings. Fierce, tender, convention re-inventing—Petch works hard. And whether it’s as a film union lighting technician, a hospital bed allocator, a Toronto hot dog vendor, or a performer/player of the musical saw, the work is survival. Heroes are found in unexpected places, elevated by both large and small gestures of kindness, accountability and acceptance.
