Marream Krollos's Stan puts the reader quickly into the throes of fresh madness, with a voice as committed to lyrical beauty as it is to understanding our species' basest, most persistent desires. The titular object of affection is just one of the many subjects that its narrator yearns for, as she confesses her shame, desire, and humiliations with a rigor and insight that will make Marream Krollos, author also of FC2's Big City, an author worth following for years to come.

Marream Krollos was born in Alexandria, Egypt. She has since lived in Los Angeles, New York, Seville, Seoul, Christchurch, and Riyadh. She received her PhD from the University of Denver. She previously lived in Jeddah where she taught one of the very few creative writing classes in the kingdom.

An erotic novel in disguise, Willy Smart's Switch Wish dwells in the tension between pause and play. From water striders and spiders to webs, stems, and stalks—the natural world abounds and is amplified through this narrator's attention which moves via associative flow, inquiring into the power of spells, names, and their role in transformation.

Willy Smart is an American artist and writer whose work proposes expanded modes and objects of reading and recording—stones, insects, ponds, surfaces, hormones, spores, clouds. They have shared their work in the USA, the Netherlands, Germany, and Scotland. Publications include two book length-publications with Publication Studio Portland, and essays published by Objet-a Creative Studio, MIEL press, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and Dilettante Journal, among others.

Open Kate Wyer's Girl, Cow, & Monk and find interlinked novellas unfolding like a set of time-lapse portraits, united by their longing and inherent magic. In "Girl, Cow" a girl and her cow embark on a journey along the sea, going anywhere other than here; "Monk" follows the mysteries and austerity of monastic life, a vow of silence, desire and a (re)discovery of voice.

Kate Wyer is the author of the novels Black Krim and Land Beast. Her work has appeared in West Branch, The Rupture, Necessary Fiction, Hobart, Unsaid and other journals. She works in the public mental health system of Maryland. She is also a somatics teacher and a registered yoga teacher.
