“Shades of Carmen Machado’s In the Dream House, and I mean that as a galactic compliment. What an intriguing, compelling helix. Intellectually exciting and driven by a kind of heart-quest. SO THRILLING to see the ‘mono story’ of motherhood and marriage and sex blown to bits from the get-go.” — Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water

“Juxtaposing paradoxes to collapse false binaries between birth and death, desire and grief, and mystery and knowing, Elizabeth Earley’s Little Deaths All In A Row mines the veins opened by Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts.

You can be made better by reading this book.” — Kristen Millares Young, award winning journalist and essayist and author of the novel, Subduction
