A recent release from the aforementioned Ravenna Press is the first collection from a legend in the prose poetry / short-short fiction genre, Kim Chinquee. Kim has been publishing for years in all the best literary magazines including Diane Williams’s NOON, Phoebe, Denver Quarterly, and just about any other you can think of.

OH BABY delivers on the promise of greatness everyone who knows Kim’s work had expected in a full book by her. Consisting mostly of her 1-2 page microfiction, Kim is perhaps most to be respected for the intuitive leaps she makes between sentences, leaving the fat off the bone and letting the reader eat from the mind incurred between passages.

Chinquee is a master, and this is a wonderful book that should be savored.
