LaToya Watkins recommends
The Tiny Things Are Heavier (2025)
Esther Ifesinachi Okonkwo
"An incredibly moving portrait of a woman becoming. Esther Ifesinachi Okonkwo has gifted us profound writing and an exquisitely-realized cast of characters."
Dixon, Descending (2024)
Karen Outen
"Karen Outen's Dixon Descending is a quiet, sometimes violent, incredibly moving, novel by writer who knows how it's done. The brutal honesty, arresting prose, love, hate, compassion, strength, and weakness are exactly what writing should be. Outen has blessed us with a brilliant character study and a powerful, important read."
Life and Other Love Songs (2023)
Anissa Gray
"Life and Other Love Songs is a harsh, sometimes haunting, astonishingly moving, exceptionally complex novel about family and music and hurt and fear and pride and love and loss. Anissa Gray tells this story with such grace, insight and precision that readers will think of these characters long after they close the book. This is what writing should be."
