Recasting Masculinity tackles at the knees. Keenly curated, this anthology is equal parts reflection and reckoning. Its varied voices feel unleashed from the page, hurtling against gravity, against stereotypes, silence. Perfectly pitched for today, but more importantly for tomorrow, toward that day when all such moorings of gender and gender expectations are rendered moot.

But I quite like the idea of weathering these coming... storms together. It’s not that I don’t struggle with my own growing older (oh, I do), but on the other hand, I am fascinated by it. Maybe in the same way storm chasers are fascinated by tornadoes. How much damage can they do? But my god how exhilarating to be in their proximity.
HOT IN HERE, a new anthology of women writing on aging and menopause, feels similarly dangerous, similarly exhilarating. 
​--From Sheila Squillante's introduction

​This anthology honours our present day dreamers as well as those so important in the past, but it is not willing to accept that freedom and justice are only ‘a dream deferred’ (to use Langston Hughes’ phrase); the pieces here challenge privilege, and call out the slowness to change of those who have the most privilege.
