Description

"The people in these stories need Meg Pokrass. Their lives are tough but her imagination is the fire-lasso that can save them, save us." — Bob Hicok, author of Elegy Owed and Sex & Love

A sixteen-year-old transplanted Pennsylvanian navigates sunburn and heartbreak in equal measure while falling in love with a very tan ghost. A girl with drunk scribbles on her shoes searches for fragments of an old flame inside the boy at the mall food court. And a female circus contortionist, daughter of a failed clown, comes to terms with the first law of romantic relationships: once in a hole, stop digging.

In First Law of Holes, award-winning author Meg Pokrass delivers a stunning selection of stories from the past fourteen years of her flash fiction career. She tackles themes of belonging, obsession, messy love, and loneliness with her trademark, unconventional storytelling.
