The story is not centered on the theater itself, however, but on Madeleine Grey, the theater's star actress and Owl's high school crush, and her twisted family tree.

It is a modern adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, as well as a meditation on race in America: Owl, a transracial Chinese adoptee, uncovers a story about a Black actor in the Midwest and the generational trauma his descendants face."

First Edition. Seattle: Aqueduct Press:, 2019. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 89 pp. Cover artwork by: Crista Kempton Poetry. "All our monsters are mirrors. And when Mary Shelley's monster-built from her life rather than her pen, born out of biography instead of blood-outlives its mother, that monster goes looking for a substitute. But all the monster really knows of women is that women write, and so the search for a replacement takes it first to Katherine Mansfield, and then to other women who know what mutilated things can be made from ink and mirrors."

A series of maps point to the place of our sun in alien skies. A story of vengeance is told and then lost, held only in the wind's teeth and rain-ruined tapestries. A god creates a narrative map of a nation. Foxes run through these stories, in various guises. They make memories, turn history into truth or toss it aside-but they're as susceptible as we are to being forgotten." First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New. Erzebet Barthold (illustratore). …

Seattle: Aqueduct Press:, 2017. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 79 pp. A poetry collection. "From the Pointer Sisters doing the Neutron Dance to David Bowman's exclamation while traveling through the star gate near Jupiter; from stealing Joan Didion's sadness to erasing F. Scott Fitzgerald's Gatsby, this collection weaves its way through the awkward paradox of wanting freedom while fearing it. A little science, a bit of sci-fi, a little feminism, a bit of lit, in Liberating the Astronauts, we see that not fitting in gives us the freedom to stand out."

Seattle: Aqueduct Press:, 2016. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 124 pp. Cover artwork by: Aleksei Kruhlenia "In this powerful debut collection, Rannu Award-winning poet Rose Lemberg explores the deep-rooted fluidity of gender, tradition, language, and desire in landscapes as familiar as high fantasy and as foreign as San Francisco. Written in the voices of immigrants, shape-changers, sentient ships in a distant future and heroes of a mythic past, her poems inhabit a fragile, vital space of complex identity and story as a conscious act, stubbornly urging the reader's attention toward the marginal, the liminal, and the unheard-a firebird cautioned to burn less brightly, a ghost-child ignored by the gods, a lover laying a road of words for a beloved to follow. By turns devastating and deeply hopeful, Marginalia to Stone Bird writes a fearless commentary on our history and others." First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New. Aleksei Kruhlenia (illustratore).…

Then the hwarhath arrive with a human: Nicholas Sanders, a civilian captured 20 years ago, who's now a translator between the two races. A casual encounter with Nick puts Anna in the crosshairs of human military intelligence, who want Nick back. A failed kidnapping attempt ignites a tense showdown.
