New Infinity is an experimental novella that follows a woman as she lives and dreams her way through the philosophical implications of autoimmune disease. Met by a labyrinth of closing doors, she searches for meaning and connection among fragmented realities and failed relationships, finding infinitude in the healing process of bibliomancy. Bára Hladík's New Infinity is a glittering cross-genre debut. Weaving surrealist stories with meditative poetics, Hladík invites you into a dream world of degenerative illness, left disordered by the failures of ableism, medical professionals, and late-stage capitalism. Here, everything runs on crip time. Where physical health and financial resources grow scarce, the restorative possibilities of queer love, divination, and self-reclamation grant a defiant, yet often tenuous, abundance. Alive with Hladík's boundless insight and wit, New Infinity is a powerful addition to the collective body of disability literature.

"Sari Dale's Para-Social Butterfly tells us early on that 'Glamour is a machine.' These mechanics of the present whirl through the forms of the inventive and refreshing poems in this collection: they're complicated, incredible. Sari Dale catalogs the repertoire of the contemporary moment, its never-ending scroll of talking filters, niche celebrities, and crypto-graphics. From talking heads in the feed to embodying the online iPhone persona that without which we simply would disappear forever, Para-Social Butterfly holds up a mirror to our faces, then dares us to have a good time. I loved reading this book. Loved it!" - BEN FAMA, author of Death Wish (Newest York Arts Press) and Fantasy (Ugly Duckling) "Para-Social Butterfly is a brilliant dive into the mind's eye of what it means to exist between Cheugy cringe, pop-up ads, luxury, technophiles, and a search for influence. Sari Dale writes poems in a hyper-real voice with a delicate and sensitive beauty that brings us swiftly back into our bodies. We are on our phones buying things we can't afford while we strip to tan. We are longing for the pastoral vintage look we see in photos online. This book is investigating the result of nihilism and hope when mixed. Sari Dale is so much smarter than most of us - she just gets it." - LAURA MARIE MARCIANO, author of Mall Brat (Civil Coping Mechanisms)

Kim: A Novel Idea is a graphic literary novel about a lonely millennial named Frankie, her boyfriend Jacob, their talking cat Catman, and an unhealthy obsession with Kim Kardashian. Faced with the difficulties of her life--her boyfriend's grief, her fear of failure, her sexual past, her millennial malaise--scrolling through photos of an uber-celebrity is the only way Frankie knows how to cope through escape. Kim: A Novel Idea gives us insight into the downfalls of contemporary living while asking: are digital identities the cure, or the poison to waking life? Kim: A Novel Idea is hilarious in the sense that it's brutally honest; real in the sense that it's relatable. Exploring politics--personal, political, social--to comment on university writing programs, intergenerational wealth, fame, #MeToo, love, and our multiple selves, there is something lovable about Frankie's insufferable attitude towards life; something deeply relatable about her self-doubt in convincing herself she's "never going to make anything of my goddamn, pathetic life." Why? Because, like us, Frankie is stuck in a capitalist cycle of celebrity marketing rings that target young women's insecurities about their bodies and accomplishments.
