What are your favorite essay collections by women? Ideally but not necessarily from independent presses and including fragmented, braided, and/or lyrical essays?

There aren't many places looking for hybrids. Three I'd recommend: @centaurlit, Permafrost, and the "Blended and Beyond" section in @jmwwjournal, which just reopened. Here's Bradley David's wish list: jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2024/…

My journal article is out! It's a "light” topic: How to Write Well About Death. I created a method to encourage death writing in the face of cultural hesitation. I show this method through Lidia Yuknavitch's The Chronology of Water. (Warning: We share the love of salty language!)
Start your Monday off right with Erin Fogarty Owen's marvelous "How to Write Well About Death" from our new fall issue--essential reading! assayjournal.com/erin-fogart…
