Forthcoming: Of a Monstrous Child

Lost Horse Press is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of Of a Monstrous Child: An Anthology of Creative Writing Relationships, edited by Nate Liederbach and James Harris.

Unlike many anthologies, the focus of this collection is not on its contributors’ individual pieces, but the relationships between its featured authors. Assembled as organically as possible, these poets and prosists have partnered themselves—as mentor and mentee—in an exchange of introductions and creative works. From widely celebrated writers to, in some cases, their just-emerging counterparts, Of a Monstrous Child shows what grows amid, among and beyond the placing of words on a page. By providing glimpses into the reality that writing is anything but a lonesome and isolating craft, this simple anthology displays the vigor, tradition, aspiration, and the often-shared uncertainty, of creative writing as community act.
