DESCRIPTION:
A Writer's Writer In Void & Sky, Master language magician, Kyle Hemmings, has composed strange, sharp sentences to draw characters haunted by quests for connection and equilibrium in their freefalling worlds.Disjointed soloists who fight their way to a murky past, couples and families who fuse and separate--time and space surround these characters with choices, often disappointing, untenable, or elusive choices.Poetic stories and prosey poems fit together perfectly in this skillfully-shaped collection of fifty-six pieces.

Often employing the prose poem or the micro fiction, and in some cases, the short story format, Hemmings attempts to pry into the rich inner lives of his heroes and anti-heroes
