Jakob Guanzon recommends

Crown (2025)
Evanthia Bromiley
"Aroar with heart, steeled by poetic acuity, Crown reads like an epic of commonplace strife, granting both dignity and a fierce new voice to the mothers and children relegated to the margins of modern America. With this debut, Evanthia Bromiley has already cemented herself as the literary heir to Lucia Berlin."

Radiant Heat (2024)
Sarah-Jane Collins

Tropicalia reminds us that forgiveness is possible but has to be earned - and before it's too late."
