Overview
From the author of the modern classic Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl comes a sly and sultry, subversively funny, and unabashedly queer anthology centered around the zodiac
Mary Oliver strives to save a harried, hissing, and half-drowned muskrat from the banks of a river. A centaur beats his chest and strokes his beard by the bonfire, waxing lyrical about the place where human and horse converge. In a world scalded by the boiling oceans, two outcasts plot to outsmart their executioners.
In Pocket Stars, beloved novelist Andrea Lawlor wrangles a dazzling dossier of writers to consider the cosmos. Some are poets, others prose stylists, others cartoonists. Some are skeptics, others true believers. All have come to contemplate how the stars might guide our steps, or how they leads us astray.
With never-before published works by Kaveh Akbar, Ching-In Chen, Kazim Ali, Carmen Maria Machado, Edmund White, Eileen Myles, Margot Douiahy, Andrea Abi-Karam, and many more, Pocket Stars is equal parts sincere and sacrilegious, as much for the cynic as it is for the astrology-obsessed.
