In Memory Field, Benick recalls objects of consciousness as altered by the materials of space and time and examines the social and ontological imperatives of what it means to be a body at any given moment. A "travelogue of forgetting" in the Proustian sense, Benick's text embraces the impossibility of accurate remembering and concedes to the liminal overlap of fact and fiction. In distilled fractions of experience, Memory Field holds the place where life once was - in ruin, in metonym, in loss.

"i was born from the body of a woman i have never met."

Beginning with a heroic couplet found inside a fortune cookie and ending with the novella's titular poem, How to Adjust to the Dark is both a collection of poetry and self-examination by a poet, Charlotte, looking back on her early twenties after an extended period of writer's block. Explicating the romantic relationships, personal history, and struggles embedded in each of her poems, Charlotte gradually uncovers the many versions of herself she has inhabited and the traumas woven into her beliefs about who she was as a writer and person at each critical point in time. A hybrid of prose, poetry, and theory in the vein of Bluets and Leaving the Atocha Station, How to Adjust to the Dark is a writer's frank, extended examination of the idea that falling in love and making art have to hurt to be good, and the work it takes to disentangle oneself from this notion in order to grow into who it is we want to be, what we wish to write about, and how we choose to make a life.

"Burnt Sienna is a hybrid cocktail book and story collection. Originally published as an unbound art book, these recipes have been recollected in a new edition for the trade. 'These stories of loss, awkwardness, childhood memories, and subliminal messages from a beach boy, each attached to a drink recipe, will stick with you long after you read this collection. This hits too close to home in the best way. Scorching, like a cocktail down the throat. Honest, like the words from your mouth after too many drinks. Joshua Bohnsack, barkeep and wordsmith, is in a category of literary fiction all his own'--Chase Griffin, author of What's On the Menu?"--
