A Dreamscape of Longing: Two Big Differences by Ian Ross Singleton
A Dreamscape of Longing: Two Big Differences by Ian Ross Singleton A brief note about recent events: This review was written back in early January. I am so horrified and saddened by the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia, because no one should have to fear for their safety or flee for their life.
That Day: On Vince Passaro’s “Crazy Sorrow”
DECEMBER 4, 2021 VINCE PASSARO’S latest novel, Crazy Sorrow, tells the story of two New Yorkers, from their 20s to their 60s. Their lives intertwine the way lovers’ limbs do, and for this particular couple, sex is a constant.

Go Home and Keep Going: On David Bezmozgis’s “Immigrant City”
MARCH 31, 2019 THOSE IN POWER would have us draw dividing lines between races. But the meaningful distinction between immigrants may be that between foreigners of “storied pomp” and the “tired, poor, and wretched.” That is the distinction drawn in Emma Lazarus’s “The New Colossus,” the sonnet inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, which welcomes refugees to the shores of the United States. The poem is of immense meaning in our society at this moment.
