They Could No Longer Contain Themselves
Book (italiano):
Fiction. THEY COULD NO LONGER CONTAIN THEMSELVES contains—but just barely—five chapbooks of flash fiction, including the winner of the third annual Rose Metal Press short short chapbook contest, and four of the finalists from the fourth. Dropped toddlers, attempted drownings, juvenile promiscuity, road trips, and inappropriate therapy sessions compose the multi-voiced family portrait in <em>Dear Mother Monster, Dear Daughter Mistake</em> by Elizabeth J. Colen. Yoga stalkers, guns and gold, babies with iron stomachs, drunkards with t-shirt cannons, and warlocks are the stuff of <em>Do Not Touch Me Not Now Not Ever</em> by John Jodzio. Dominatrixes and fetishists, face paint and goo, fierce parental love and perverse longings cohabitate in <em>Evan's House and the Other Boys Who Live There</em> by Tim Jones-Yelvington. Leukemia, meteorites, Wal-Mart, bocce ball, Charlie Brown's clinical depression, the language of talking crows and of Che Guevara's omelets fill the eggs in <em>How Some People Like Their Eggs</em> by Sean Lovelace. And smallstories about pretty girls who sit quietly and behave themselves (or not) populate the pages of <em>Paper and Tassels</em> by Mary Miller.
