Praise for Sweet Nothings

Keith J. Powell writes with startling originality and authority and his debut story collection is troublingly lovable and winning. I will be lured back to these wonderful fictions again and again. Haunting, strange and addictive, this is the work of a gifted new author with a sharp eye and a tender heart.

– Meg Pokrass, author of The First Law of Holes: New and Selected Stories

Powell’s collection unleashes potent and limber stories that “float loose up from the depths,” a buoyant and spirited journey through the language of love. Lucid light douses each piece. Only a truly remarkable writer can conjure up playful weavings of the human heart through new avenues of spectral optimism. Masterfully told. Get a copy!

–Meg Tuite, author of Planked By The Abyss
