Common Amnesias by Alex Cuff

Alex Cuff’s first full-length collection, Common Amnesias, moves through the dissolution of adolescent selfhood in the midst of capitalist excess and nuclear family norms, via the territory of dreams, and fallibilities of memory that tether the individual to the common amnesias of our institutions. 

The Naif by Valerie Hsiung

The Naif lives in a practiced state of naivety—a language-fasted, resource-starved loop—and it lives as a test: of what awareness, what becoming, what imagination is possible under the scarcest of conditions, conditions that can make it impossible to deceive or beguile (others or oneself).
