“MAW APPEARS IN THE FOLLOWING FORMS is a visionary and haunting work that demonstrates the expansive, intimate, and beautifully liminal potential of the chapbook form. Formally innovative and conceptually realized, these stories defy genre, description, and boundaries…The scope and ambition of this chapbook is astonishing, and its origin stories are points of arrival and departure, reinvention and return, history and speculation, and the bodily divine. The language is beautifully precise and always surprising, reaching, probing. As multifaceted and inventive as matrilineage itself -- in all its horror and beauty -- this chapbook will transform and haunt you with its beauty and brutality. There is an infinity of stunning moments throughout, but one of them remains with me: '...he is afraid even in death that she will not be contained.' Like the mothers in this chapbook, multitudinous and hungry, these stories refuse to be contained.”
—K-Ming Chang, author of Gods of Want and Bestiary
