beast stories


to nathan:                                                          
if you felt this book in your hands
and ran your finger around it,
you’d find four small corners
and three long edges, as long as
you haven’t
returned to the beginning.

Beast Stories is an anthology of writings from February 2021 to December 2022. Running your finger upon the pages, from the top of the spine to bottom, you'll find three edges between the four corners that you'll touch. Reading through it, you'll find three collections of poetry between four stories.

From A Half Breed, a diary of 35 entries by a girl troubled by her parentage; to Tell me August, a story in nine poems about a cat tormented by his past and coming lives, these stories and collections are for those who have not quite outgrown fables, yet remain unstifled by them. All of these stories and collections are different and disjoint, yet reinforce each other and complete a world where animals come in and out of us.
