JOHN BLOOMBERG-RISSMAN Reviews
I begin to suspect that this is a “sci-fi novel.”
Reading from After-Cave at ISSVWS
I am glad that this book is the first book. It came out of my bones. I pulled out what was already there. This is of course a type of making, but much of my earlier work was more consciously crafted to look or sound a certain way and do a certain thing. With After-Cave, my work was to have the language and the shapes they made on the page honor the way the words had already grown inside my body. This required crafting and intention, but some of that was to make room for a type of risk-taking where my relationship to the language and page space was open and messy, because the way the language coalesced and sytancitically constellated and unfurled in my body-swamp was open and messy. And plastic. How do you put things that are alive and moving on that page?

After-Cave https://ahsahtapress.org/product/after-cave/
A feminist, feral-poetic odyssey, purring and covered in mud, After-Cave invites the reader to move with its possibly human, possibly alive narrator toward a discovery of livability. More pressing than hunger in this universe is the need to know what cruelty means and how one might live in its absence. How to make this impossibility hospitable and thereby, in one's way, to prepare oneself to meet ones friends: human, animal, the always alive and the already dead. A hybrid text, After-Cave contains experiments in sound and syntax, language that moves like weather systems and migratory birds, troubling notions of linear time and traversing the spaces of human-made and "natural" disaster.
