The cover of FIREFALL: poems by Heather Lang-Cassera, featuring a black and white illustration of a woman's head and neck merging with the outline of a tree, against a red background
New review in the Encounters issue of @panoramajournal.bsky.social:
"Soundscape, Landscape, Ghost: on FIREFALL by Heather Lang-Cassera" (2025: @unsolicitedpress.bsky.social)
a full-length that explores the limits of the individual subject, the landscape, and the sonic properties of language
Why is anyone submitting a high fantasy novel to us? We love them. But we don't publish them. New writers: do your homework.

Every single email is a rabbit hole. Starts with the initial action, which then leads to another and then some more work, and before you know it, three hours have passed and there are still 4.5 million more emails.
