Presenting our newest issue of The Cupboard (the very worthy winner of our first-ever contest): "Lorraine Nelson: A Biography in Post-It Notes" by David Hawkins.
Of the volume, guest judge Michale Martone writes that "it's made up of surprising but complex asides, elaborated and compacted articulations that scale beautifully into a durable and brilliant skin, a chain mail of associative links and leaps. The language is massive and minute, mute and malleable. The whole piece performs the paradox, recombining the airy ephemeral with an adhesive that does, in fact, stick."

…I know I'm not alone with this kind of accumulation of idiotic detritus. My problem is that in one's never-ending battle with this perpetual accumulation of life's silt, I am France, and kipple is Germany.

Review of the day on Booklist: very swell. (Or: "Hey now, brown cow." Which is what my wife had to say about it on her FB page, for no discernible reason.)
