Flyway: Journal of Writing & Environment interviews Julian Hoffman for their blog:
Flyway: If you could have readers take away one thing from The Small Heart of Things, what would it be?Publishers Weekly reviews Jacquelin Gorman's THE VIEWING ROOM:
JH: That rich possibility, or “murmurs at every turn” in Rilke’s words, can be found in the places around us when we look at them with curiosity and openness. I would be delighted if a reader wanted to step outside into a place of their own after reading the book.
Gorman navigates these emotionally intense situations through the perspective of the chaplains as they struggle to maintain professional composure. Both characters are deeply human in their portrayal, each with their own coping mechanisms: Maurice, for example, puts Vaseline in his contact lenses to avoid seeing the autopsy he is required to view. These vibrant but disturbing stories provide insight into life's bleakest moments.The Day, the Hartford, CT newspaper, describes THE VIEWING ROOM as "a heart-carving collection. . . . gorgeously written."
Congratulations to Jay Watson! His book, READING FOR THE BODY, was awarded Honorable Mention for the 2013 C. Hugh Holman award in southern literary scholarship, sponsored by the Society for the Study of Southern Literature.
