Fluency

Spanning surreal landscapes and time FLUENCY transports readers to dystopian futures haunted houses and the intimate life of a baby-snatching fae. The eight short stories blend elements of horror and myth into their narratives. The poetry and prose in this collection will take you on an uneasy but deeply necessary journey through the meaning of body of sense and loss; how the bonds of trust and language can tunnel toward a shared truth. Swann finds precision and music in image. I lost track of how many times paused to linger and whisper yes. Like a character you'll find in these pages Swann crafts 'her own language of song and sound.' The result is tender and exquisite. - Tina Higgins Wussow Host of Duluth's Writer's Salon
