“In Alight, Rachael Peckham looks with clear eyes directly at the grief, loss, and haunting questions surrounding the plane crash that killed her grandfather and two uncles before she was born. She handles her volatile material tenderly, yet matter-of-factly. Through a collage of prose poems, witness testimonials, excerpts of letters, conversations, vignettes, scenes from her own flying lesson, and the white space between it all, the story shifts and builds like fast-moving clouds in the summer sky. I am in awe of the mind that constructed this book. And yet, overwhelmingly, as I read Alight, I felt it–in my chest, in my lungs, in my eyes as they stung, and I blinked away tears. With keen perception and curiosity informed by the ache of reflected grief that inhabited her childhood, Peckham gently guides the reader into the wreckage and back out again.” - Kathleen McGookey, author of Instructions for My Imposter: Prose Poem

“In the three decades leading up to the presidential election of 2040, the Bill of Rights has been systematically weakened or repealed. The country has become even more polarized politically and economically than it was at the turn of the century. But Attorney General Pete Chesterfield wants more -- the complete elimination of Congress, resulting in total control of the United States government by the executive branch. Taking advantage of a weak President, he secretly plans a campaign to eliminate Article I of the Constitution. Liberal journalist Roland Raines discovers the plot and takes advantage of his long-time friendship with the President to reverse this disastrous course of action, discovering in the process that the only way to preserve our precarious democracy is to embrace and adopt the principles enunciated by 17th and 18th century social philosophers and America's founding fathers.”

“Broken Records is not a neat narrative but a bit of everything --- part bildungsroman, part memoir, part political poetry, part personal pop culture compendium. And while Žabić represents a Yugoslav diasporan subject, her book also belongs to an international generation whose formative years straddle the Cold War and the global reconfiguration of wealth and power, whose lives were spent shifting from the vinyl/analog era to the cyber/digital era.”
