“This anthology is an explosion of astounding writing. Some of the dynamite originated in other countries and languages, some in English, all of it the kind of writing to light up your mind for days.” Idra Novey, author of Ways to Disappear   

 

“MAKE has always been a place to dig up gems, but the image of diamonds pressed between pages doesn’t really express how alive the pages are.” Amelia Gray, author of Gunshot
