Swank Fiction, Wishful Poetry

"The Swank Hotel" book cover
  • The Swank Hotel

"Life in a Field" book cover
  • Life in a Field
  • By Katie Peterson, professor of English, with photos by Young Suh, professor of art

The publisher calls this volume a comedy about climate change in which Peterson attempts 鈥渢o find a path through our familiar strife, toward a future that feels all but impossible, and into what remains of beauty and pleasure.鈥 Reviewer Rita Bullwinkel, author of Belly Up, says Life in a Field 鈥渋s a triumph of language鈥檚 unique ability to show us double-exposed ideas with deft and sparkling energy.鈥
