Lit Windows
Rowland Saifi
ISBN 978-1-941550-77-9 $15.00 158 pages
With an elegance that is itself a kind of understanding, Saifi’s prose delineates a sharp path of words that leads out into a concourse of startling beauty.
Jesse Ball, author of A Cure for Suicide
Lit Windows rolls uneasily forward, like a car keeping pace with someone walking. Our task, as readers, is to keep our eyes on the road ahead and the mark beside us at once. Full of absurd minutiae and oblique horror, Saifi delivers us assuredly to a destination we’ve never been before.
Jac Jemc, author of A Different Bed Every Time
