In the second installment of Headspace, MACK, I wanted to explore all the weird and different emotions and airs behind a kiss. This book contains kisses between lovers, between kin and friends and entire cities. They’re large and quiet and beautiful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of writers to bring this subject to the page.

The creation of this chapbook was inspired by Nicole Sealey’s miracle of a poem “Virginia is for Lovers” which was published in American Poetry Review vol. 45 issue no. 5. It can also be found in her chapbook, The Animal After Whom Other Animals Are Named.

Books and E-Books can be purchased via our store on Big Cartel!
