I’ve been reading and rereading “Daughterrariums Acts I-V” and “Olga’s Book” and I get something new, beautiful, dark, uncomfortable, and intensely sensory each time. Do it!

“I can’t sound the alarms for the lions to bulldoze the scenery. Please, dear reader, take me out of bed and put me back into the grass.” –McMullin, “Daughterrariums, Act II, Who’s There?”
