“A dazzling, darkly humorous story…the novel overflows with witty dialogue and skillfully drawn characters, its biggest strength lies in its penetrating critique of gatekeeping in the publishing industry and the deleterious effects it can have on Black editors. This insightful, spellbinding book packs a heavy punch.” ― Publishers Weekly (starred) .
“[A] brilliant debut …The novel takes some bold stylistic risks that pay off beautifully, leaving the reader longing for more of Harris's words and unique view on the world.” ― Vogue .
"Slyly brilliant . . . a nuanced page-turner, as sharp as it is fun. A biting social satire–cum-thriller; dark, playful, and brimming with life." ― Kirkus Reviews (starred)

feast gently by G.C. Waldrep

"For several books now, G.C. Waldrep has been writing poetry that inhabits the tensions between faith and matter, flesh and mind, fullness and nullity. Feast Gently is a lavish new iteration of his visionary work. In language that is always exultant, the poems in this beautiful and demanding book inquire into the body itself--the prismatic entity that manifests as the lyric body, the civic body, the spirit body, and the achingly physical body. What's newly urgent in these poems is the knowledge that the body's vulnerability is probably the fulcrum of its joy. As a speaker in one poem claims, 'Sometimes touch is better / than illumination.' Still, here is a poetry of illumination, rapture, and rapt attention." --Rick Barot
"Rarely have I encountered such intransigent songs of devotion, as baroque in their way as the songs of Donne, philosophical and heartfelt; the thought is kingly and the language thingly, a living envelope for and not a description of, the real." --Joshua Corey --Advance Praise
