Mattering

"An abstract expolration of transcendent thought and playful fiction, MATTERING's expertly crafted language and deviation from the norm inspires reflection. From the first story to the last, Parks eloquently challenges the reader's ability to mix imagination and critical thinking. A rare and refreshing compilation." -Maisie Schreiber "Like a velvet thorn, Parks is hauntingly aware and softly absurd. Her work is intimate and lush. With mindful confidence, she folds and flips narrative reality. Her words overlay form and twist sensation. It's as if she is able to experience our collective psychic landscape just a few moments ahead of everyone else. What an absolute joy to read." -David Grey "MATTERING is a malleable melody composed of Park's decisive strokes inside an air of whimsy, and suspended in natural mist and man-made smoke. This is an adventure not to be missed." -Nina Larson
