Stories
​

​Kim Fu

Seattle, WA
​
This collection of short stories reflects on family, coming of age, grief. relationships, and both the promise and uncertainty of the future. Each story is dynamic and thought provoking. It's rare to read a collection where every story stirs something inside. I simply couldn't put this down. I hope it finds many readers in the PNW and beyond.

The Necessity of Wildfire
Poems

Caitlin Scarano

Bellingham, WA

The poems in Caitlin Scarano’s The Necessity of Wildfire burn slowly but searing, her words lulling readers into a sense of comfort in the exploration of the minutiae of everyday life only to be suddenly startled into a higher clarity. The collection is complex and compelling, revealing a connection to both the personal and universal experience. These poems make an impact upon first reading and will affect you each and every time you return.
