Spirit Bridges
Critique by Jendi Reiter Li Mo's imagistic, introspective memoir Spirit Bridges depicts a childhood indelibly marked by political trauma, a lost young woman's coming of age in the American counterculture of the 1960s-70s, and a midlife re-integration of herself through the visual and performing arts. Born in Shanghai in 1947,…
Her Widow
Critique by Ellen LaFleche Full disclosure: after losing three family members, including my husband, in a harrowing three-month period, I read many books about grief. These included self-help manuals about grief as well as personal memoirs. While it's always helpful, if not comforting, to read about a shared experience, a…
According to Their Kinds
Critique by Ellen LaFleche This slim volume of animal-centered short stories was among my favorites this year. In According to Their Kinds, Abigail Anklam uses her knowledge of the physical and emotional life of animals to create six entertaining yet disturbing short stories. Annie Keithline, one of our contest screeners,…

An Exaltation of Larks
Critique by Jendi Reiter A family saga centered on a bisexual love triangle, Suanne Laqueur's An Exaltation of Larks took me on a nostalgic trip back to the peak publishing years of the epic popular novel—those generation-spanning tales by authors like Howard Fast, Belva Plain, and Colleen McCullough that were…

Willoughby’s World of Wonder
Critique by Ellen LaFleche Read Willoughby's World of Wonder by Stephen Barnwell and take a trip into the Jungian collective unconscious, into a fantasy world of fairies, goblins, ogres, and trolls. Bugbears and merfolk! Bookhounds and tooth faeries and centaurs, oh my! Jendi and I have spirited debates about the…
Blackwax Boulevard
Critique by Jendi Reiter Dmitri Jackson's Blackwax Boulevard: Five Years, What a Surprise (2012-2017) anthologizes the first five years of his webcomic about a struggling inner-city record store and the passionate misfits who call it home. It's an affectionate, visually snappy portrait of a found family united by music fandom,…
The King of Karaoke
Critique by Jendi Reiter In his short story collection The King of Karaoke, Bob Sylva, a retired newspaper columnist for The Sacramento Bee, depicts the diversity and resilience of immigrant life in his native city. Sadness and struggle lend these tales a realistic flavor, but they end on a note…
Lentils in Black Rice
Critique by Ellen LaFleche Fairy tales and myths have survived across time and culture, and constitute a rich repository of archetypes. Fairy tale “retellings” abound in poetry and fiction these days; they often provide a modern backdrop as well as surprise plot twists and psychological commentary on current social and…
River Queens
Critique by Jendi Reiter Alexander Watson's lively travelogue-memoir River Queens chronicles a middle-aged gay couple's unlikely odyssey across the rural South in a vintage wooden yacht. Seemingly on a whim, and at a crossroads in their career of renovating and flipping houses, Watson and his partner Dale Harris visited a…
Defense Mechanisms
Critique by Ellen LaFleche Jessica Goody's poetry collection Defense Mechanisms was among my three favorite entries in this year's contest. As I judge each book, I write copious comments and notes in the margins, all the while mercilessly fact-checking for accuracy. A sampling of my spontaneous comments during my first…
