As the new Reviews Editor for the Southern Indiana Review, I decided to start a column where I talk about recent books. The column is called “Myself and Strangers” after a line from Gertrude Stein, and I just posted my first review. It’s a glance back at debuts from 2017 and it covers books by Nicole Sealey, Sheila McMullin, and Layli Long Soldier. I use the term “feminist debut power trio” and you should read the column here at the SIR site.
