Pleth, by j/j hastain and Marthe Reed

A new collaborative collection of poems, just published by Unlikely Books: cell poems by j/j hastain with ekphrasitc responses by Marthe Reed. Deb Hoag reviews Pleth at HLMT Giant.  Hoag writes, "There are complex nuances in both hastain’s and Reed’s work, fragmented glimpses of post-apocalyptic wounds, of a desperate last grasp at the tattered shreds of a brave new world’s disavowed humanity, but both hastain and Reed offer, above all else, a sense of beauty, and of hope that shines through."
