Becca Yenser’s "Constellation of Wounds" beams bright shimmering points of light through the darkness of loss, the erratic connections that pull us together then tear us apart, and the humdrum daily routines that comprise a life. From the seemingly innocuous contents of our refrigerators to the deepest losses that shape our very being, this slim book explores the secret truths of our universe and the expansions and contractions that make us human. Think Lydia Davis’ experimental explorations of the quotidian and Denis Johnson’s life-affirming last lines, but in the stellar prose, form, and line-work that makes Yenser’s voice distinctly their own.
