a dream recurs
KENNEL-BORN
“What emerges here is a Willem Myra in search of his identity not as a writer but as someone who experiences themselves through others. Reading these fourteen stories is like using kaleidoscopic binoculars. Myra’s prose is fragmented, chameleonic, packed with symbolism. He seems to inhabit an instant hinged between real and surreal— and it’s no surprise if he’s less interested in providing answers than he is in posing questions.” —FORMERCACTUS
black humor, surreal, midget-sized stories, underprinted debut
AND IF I DIE TOMORROW
A tailor-made collection of twenty-seven experimental poems when the author was not-as-yet embittered by the world.
