OLDER WORDS:

“OUR 13th DIVORCE is a vibrant exploration of what it means to be in a lasting (key word there) and committed relationship. Matt Cashion’s gift for witty, realistic dialogue is excellent, as is his ability to locate fragility and tenderness where you least expect it.”–Jill McCorkle, Life After Life.

LAST WORDS OF THE HOLY GHOST, winner of the 2015 Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction. These 12 stories showcase a dynamic range of voices belonging to obsessive storytellers who can’t stop confessing. They survive their sorrows with well-timed laughter, they slouch toward forgiveness, and they point their ears toward the Holy Ghost’s last words. “…heartrending and, at the same time, hardened by humor that is brilliantly and painfully hilarious.”–Asheville Citizen-Times
