“Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy.”

"Brawler is everything we love and expect from Lauren Groff. God-tier writing that tackles difficult subject matter yet is still palatable. The only story I had trouble connecting with was “What’s the Time Mr. Wolf?” Otherwise, loved it. "

"Devastating, haunting, gorgeous. Lauren Groff is a master. I just love her so much. Best thing I’ve read in a while. "

"There wasn't a bad one in the bunch, but these are not happy and uplifting stories. They are sometimes disturbing and most leave you feeling unsettled. They are stories of abuse, abandonment, neglect but at the end of each story many were about women"

“Bait Goat
There is a

magnets pull,
we feel, having

back. Likewise
there is a
distance where
words attract.
Set one out
like a bait goat
and wait and
seven others
will approach.
But watch out:
roving packs can
pull your word
away. You
find your stake
yanked and some
rough bunch
to thank.”

Ha, well yeah I'm trying. Working on editing/finalizing a collection of science articles I hope to e-publish in the next few weeks.
Will be watching/reading your reviews here.
Thanks for the note!
