Synopsis
Described as "funny, nuanced, dry, rich, and so good" by Brooklyn Magazine, The Disasters is a short fiction collection that explores the concept of the disaster as a psychological condition. Invoking volcanoes, tsunamis, exploding multiverses and so much more, Rowland employs science fiction, absurdity, with equal parts of Miranda July, Kurt Vonnegut, Ursula K. Le Guin, Douglas Adams, Margaret Atwood, and David Foster Wallace. Two Way Mirror Press expands its palate of contemporary poetry to include this work which hovers at moments on the edge of prose poetry, sometimes concrete, sometimes floating in a haze of snack-food induced hallucinatory bliss.
