Look what shipment came in the mail today! Contact me at lynn.glyttr@gmail.com if you want a copy, or look up Unthinkable Creatures press on etsy, which I don’t know how to do because I am posting from a phone.

Unthinkable Creatures is a handbound chapbook press founded by Kristen Stone in January 2012 and…
spending some time today getting organized and doing promotional thingies, so now you can follow unthinkable creatures on facebook.
My literary pets model the latest chapbook from Unthinkable Creatures: Scratch the Bone by Tamryn Spruill.
Adorable! Hope they (and you) enjoy it.
a little roundup of everything in the unthinkable creatures store…
i just finished tamryn spruill’s scratch the bone today. it’s a short, aching little collage book about trauma and memory. black and white, 16 pages, handbound with block print cover.
consent for shy people cards. these are really fun to make and i’m planning others in a series riffing on shyness and queer tropes of extroversion and sex positivity/consent discourse. purple prints on index cards. the reverse is lined for your personalized message.
mimetic-shameless by j/j hastain. a lush, creepy work about sinking, refusal, the sea, sex and gender.
the black telephone by kari larsen, a messy meditation on trauma, disclosure, and reading jt leroy.
melancholy inspirational prints ”love is never going to fill the hole” “you were never supposed to have to do this” “you must learn to live with this feeling of unease” and “how do you write a ghost when you are afraid of ghosts?” printed on repurposed paper.
thank you for your support of unthinkable creatures!
unthinkable creatures now has an official office and studio (it’s in my house)
this weekend i’m working on tamryn sprill’s ‘scratch the bone,’ look for it soon on etsy
(in the meantime there’s consent cards or j/j hastain’s mimetic-shameless!)
do you want to review j/j hastain’s mimetic-shameless? i have a few copies to give away for reviewers, so message me if you’d like one!
*or whatever
Kristen Stone interviews j/j hastain re: mimetic-shameless
What’s at the bottom of the sea?
Florence (of Florence+the Machine) would say that a deepest relief is at the bottom of the sea (“Fractured moonlight on the sea/ Reflections still look the same to me/ As before I went under/ And it’s peaceful in the deep/ Cathedral where you cannot breathe…”) and I have to agree with her. After all, she is a genius with those feral dresses and acerbic dancers, with the small warbler (caught (or kept?) in her throat)-vibrato that she has going on.
hey y’all— these are finished and ready to go in the mail monday, so order one if you’d like!
