Turns & two others (2026 KAISER)

Turns & two others comprises three books of short prose passages, gathered in a single volume: Turns, The Penitent, and The North.

Here are three sets of stepping stones you may try crossing. Each set is a scatter of rocks and boulders, spaced irregularly—some are worn smooth, others remain jagged; some are smaller than your foot, others larger than your body. It’s best to go slowly, taking care with your footing, for you’ll need to twist, or stretch, or leap from one unlike stone to the next. The three sets gathered between these covers were first meant to stand separately, each in its own slender volume. I ask that you read them one at a time.

Printed in a compact private edition, 2026.
