I'm delighted to have a chapter in this wonderful new book with Edinburgh University Press
Telepoetics: Writing the Phone in Literature, Culture and Theory (Eds Sarah Jackson, Philip Leonard, Annabel Williams)
edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-telepoe...
Open access: www.jstor.org/content/oa_c...

* resolutely earthbound prose (but looking at the stars)
* lowkey existential meltdowns
* strong family resemblance to The Labyrinth
