Read Excerpt

By (author): Jacqueline Turner

Careful careens around a series of domestic distractions and interruptions, where language is compressed and ripped up images accumulate across the local terrain. Turner’s much anticipated second book is witty, sensual, and intense: it documents the synthetic ache of now, releasing a life on the edge of things.
