Hailman
Author(s): Leanne Radojkovich
A collection of short stories. In the title story, a child builds a snowman out of ice with her mum's friend Joyce and skirts round the edge of some adult truths. In 'Growing', a daughter visits her mother in the nursing home and tries to bond with her over flower seeds. In 'Double Dose', Patsy makes a Covid-y journey back to her hometown and touches on unpleasant memories of the past.
"Full of insight into the human condition, with a poet's eye for the natural world, these stories ripple out in ever widening circles." Frankie McMillan (The Father of Octopus Wrestling: And Other Small Fictions).
Most recently Leanne's stories have appeared in Landfall, ReadingRoom, Turbine|Kapohau and in the forthcoming anthology Best Small Fictions 2021 (Sonder Press, USA).
Product Information
'Perhaps I love this collection so much, because it is a book I feel. I feel what is present and I feel what is absent. I choose the word 'prism' to underline how the thematic hues spark and shift. You see life in sensory gleams. [...] It is a collection to lose yourself in and then discover multiple rewarding paths to your own bridges and connections. It's narrative as nourishment.' - Paula Greene for Poetry Shelf
