Editor Andrew Durbin assembles works by Dodie Bellamy, Cecilia Corrigan, Amy De'Ath, Lynne Tillman, and Jackie Wang. Artist Nayland Blake creates unique covers for each chapbook. The writers present new or previously uncollected pieces. Bellamy offers "More Important than the Object." Corrigan provides "Cream" with illustrations by Jocelyn Spaar. De'Ath contributes "ON MY LOVE FOR gender abolition." Tillman presents "In These Intemperate Times: 9 Frieze Columns." Wang delivers "Tiny Spelunker of the Oneiro-Womb." Each chapbook maintains its own design identity while participating in the larger collection.
