By Meg Oolders

A dynamic anthology of experimental short fiction, poetry, essays, humor, and multimedia projects from the fiery heart/busy mind of novelist, Meg Oolders.

I get to the end of Meg’s pieces and go, “Holy crap, that was amazing.” Her capacity to inhabit a wide range of characters speaks to a profound empathy.
