I received my copy of Meg’s book a few days ago, and I haven’t been able to put it down. I find myself constantly reading and rereading these brilliant, captivating treasures. It’s amazing the emotion Meg can convey in just a few words. Read Meg’s Substack for more information about her writing and her workshop offerings.
A sixteen-year-old transplanted Pennsylvanian navigates sunburn and heartbreak in equal measure while falling in love with a very tan ghost. A girl with drunk scribbles on her shoes searches for fragments of an old flame inside the boy at the mall food court. And a female circus contortionist, daughter of a failed clown, comes to terms with the first law of romantic relationships: Once in a hole, stop digging.
In First Law of Holes, award-winning author Meg Pokrass delivers a stunning selection of stories from the past fourteen years of her flash fiction career, tackling themes of belonging, obsession, messy love and loneliness with her trademark, unconventional storytelling. – Dzanc Books
